Thanks Grant, I'm having a dog of problem with my old ps files (made in Ventura 4.11). Fortunately, I was able to return to W98 and redo the files in question and save it in ps. Now the bad news: 1. Ghostscript likes the ps file, but won't print it in color (which was the whole point of the modifcation). I've tried all combos for my printer command (replacing the "lpr" command with "/dev/usb/lp0", "tp0", "lp0" . . . and other combos! Nothing works! 2. Now, to add insult to injury, Ghostview doesn't "like" the ps file. However, it is willing print a color ps (at least I'm able to configure my Canon printer to do it in GS), but won't display it -- if you can figure that one out. (And I thought GV was just an interface to GS??) 3. To make things even more interesting, GS likes Turboprint (the driver that prints such wonderful and immaculate colors!). Unfortunately, Turboprint jams the test print with an overlay of the CUPS test print -- what a mess! Seems like I'm back in my Windoze days -- you know, to print a file you need program-abc, that needs a convertor-bcd, which in turn needs program-ace, but won't run with either b or d. Sorry for the rambling, but I'm just so frustrated . . . Thanks again. I think I'll call it quits and grab some zzz.
