Hi John,
I have also have hadd problems printing the SPM99 sourced spm.ps
files to our SUN SPARC printer using NewsPrint. I can't print these files
and my printer is complaining about "packed array" errors. What's the
essential difference between spm96 and spm99 originating postcript files?
Anyone else experienced this and solved it?
