Printing postscript files

Hi everyone,

My Sun machine used to address envelopes by printing a postscript file that I edited with emacs. To print it, I would type, say, "lpr -Php -h envelope.ps". "-Php" told the computer that it was using an HP printer. The "-h" suppressed a banner page.

After I type "lp envelope.ps" on my iMac, the machine schedules a print job, but nothing prints. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Bill

 

Thanks for the good advice, Mrbash. I'll follow the recommended link. I've been corresponding wi a Mac system administrator, a consultant who still doesn't know what's wrong. So let's hope the answer will be in the document you've linked your post to, my friend.

I'm very familiar with the "man" command. Thanks for the reminder, though.
