I just wish to further know if this PS file contains anything related to |
| 9 |
the printer, anything printer-specific. E.g does it make difference if I |
| 10 |
choose printer A or printer B before I click 'Print to fiile' and get |
| 11 |
the PS file. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
As far as I know doing things this way on Windows is dangerous. E.g. |
| 14 |
print to a random PS printer (a laserject for example) and get the |
| 15 |
print-to-file PS file, chances these files are very specific to that PS |
| 16 |
printer and opens wrongly in gsview. You have to use the 'Adobe PS |
| 17 |
Printer' which produce 'standard' PS file. |
