I print ascii file to the postscript prefs plenty of times. Usually it is
no problem. Once in a while it has gone nuts and printed a bunch of
garbage but I assumed it was my fault.
Your problem might be that the ascii file has form feed characters in it.
Strip them out before printing. Let's say that the form feed character is
after 66 lines. Your Postscript printer prefs are set to 60 lines. 60
lines print, second page starts, 5 lines print, form feed is encountered,
bzzt (a page spits out), next page begins. I have made this same error. I
am using a HPLJ4M.
