593.0. "how to print ps files from within ALL-IN-1" by BODRUM::YEGEN () Wed Apr 29 1992 10:53

    I think the answer should be simple but I don not know it. We have
    postscript LN03's in the co and from VMS we can print the postscript
    files to it by issuing a command like PRINT/QUEUE=name_p docname.ps . So
    when the users receive a ps document in ALL-IN-1 then they make a file
    attachment and transfer it to VMS and print the file from VMS.
    
    But I think they must be able to print it after the file attachment
    step simply invoking print option from within ALL-IN-1. 
    
    I tried to add a new printer queu called name_p using MPR PR option and
    tried several things like making changes using MPR PT option. But my
    each attempt failed giving the prompt "Printer destination XX can not
    print a PostScript document".
    
    Thank you very much for your valuable informations,

I think your problem may be that the site printer record you have created does
not have the Format Printer Type set to PS.  I suspect you will have set it to
LN03-R?

    Thank you very very much,
    
    By means of this solution I will nerver have to teach people how to
    transfer a document to VMS and print it, which reduces at least 5
    Hotline logs/month.
