Have problem with printing scratch pad content.
When printing to a Dataproduct LZR2080 postscript printer, nothing
comes out. The print style PSLZR is a site customized print style,
it works when printing ordinary WPSPLUS document from ALL-IN-1.
(Note it won't accept postscript file generated using the supplied
PS print stype which will be accepted by DEC postscript printer)
When I trapped the file sent to the printer, I found that it was
only an ordinary text file, not postscript file.
But if I use PS as print style when printing scratch pad content,
it generated a postscript which was accepted by a DEClaser 2250
but not the DP LZR2080, as predicted.
Is there anything wrong in the PRA file?
Thanks

Banquo,
The reason is as follows;
Postscript output is created using the WPS-PLUS formatter.
Normally, when printing an ASCII document/file the WPS-PLUS formatter
is not used BUT printing to style PS is a special case.
If FILEFORMAT.SCP (foreground formatting) you have the following lines...
! Text Data Set mechanism cannot format to PostScript. If formatting to
! PostScript, we have to use the WPS-PLUS formatter.
.if #FILEFMT_DEST_FORMAT eqs "PS" then .goto wpsplus
You need to change the last line to...
.if #FILEFMT_DEST_FORMAT eqs "PS" or -
#FILEFMT_DEST_FORMAT eqs "PSLZR" then .goto wpsplus
Similarly, in WPPRINT.SCP (background formatting) you have these lines...
! Text Data Set mechanism cannot format to PostScript. If formatting to
! PostScript, we have to use the WPS-PLUS formatter.
.if #PRINT_FINAL_FORM eqs "PS" then .goto WPSPLUS
The last line needs to be changed to...
.if #PRINT_FINAL_FORM eqs "PS" or -
#PRINT_FINAL_FORM eqs "PSLZR" then .goto WPSPLUS
OR, you could just change the "eqs" to "=" (Beginning) in both scripts
to catch all print style that start with "PS".
Hope this helps.
