HELP! I am using ProWrite 3.2.2 with a recently purchased NEC Model 95 PostScript laser printer. This printer has PostScript Level II. I do not get any output when using ProWrite's PostScript print option. The printer IS receiving the data, because its LCD display alternates between "WAITING" & "PROCESSING" while ProWrite is printing – but just when I would expect the first page to start printing, the LCD display changes to "READY PS" and that's the end of the story. ProWrite thinks he is done printing a multi-page document, but not a single page has printed. I get the same results when outputting PostScript to a file and then using "COPY <myfile> TO PAR:". I am running AmigaDOS 1.3 on an A2000 with 512k chip RAM, 512k "slow" RAM, 2 Meg fast RAM, and the AdSpeed accelerator. The same problem is present whether AdSpeed is switched on or off. This printer works perfectly with Proffesional Page 2.1 in PostScript mode. Any ideas what could be causing this? Mike Danner

Mike Danner, I don't think we have a Level II PostScript printer that we can test on. The programmer is aware of Level II PostScript so it should be compatible. We'll have to look into it. Thanks for the report. Mark New Horizons Software, Inc.
