Very Computer

I tried to print the labels on an Apple LaserWrite and on a
HP LaserJet 4M. I didn't get anything out of my printers!
But the ghostscript preview works fine.
  I found a lot of lines in the ps-files containing the postscript operator
'statusdict'. The Adobe PostScript Language Reference Manual says about
this operator:
     statusdict contains product-dependend operators and other data whose
     names and values vary from product to product, and sometimes from
     one version of a product to another.   ....
     statusdict is not necessarily defined in all products. Any reference
     to statusdict in a PostScript language program impairs the portability
     of that program.
So what about a new release of the labels?
Nevertheless they really look cool (at least the preview of them)!

Has anyone been able to print the PS files? They do not print
on Kyocera or DEClaser 3250... (Offending command is lettertray)

Also the format of the PS files is strange. Just one loooong stream so
I am not able to edit the files.

Best regards,

The PS file printed fine on my NEC Model 95.  The look great.  It would
be nice to get these in a different format, say xfig or tgif, so I could
edit them and make addtional labels on my Linux box.  Also a 5 1/4 version
would be cool.  (I don't ask for much, do I?) :-)

    A friend of mine asked me to print the Linux labels for him on my
NeXT.  The PostScript Previewer couldn't display the files and returned
numerous PS errors on the Console.  I tried printing the files just for
grins and Viola!  The labels came out fine.  The labels are way cool.
Nice job Chris :-).

Later,
James

With a little help from the net I was able to print the labels
and they look GREAT! Thank you Chris.

The solution was to write a small program and replace all CR with LF
and then I could edit the file and put %% in front of the line
with the keyword "lettertray". Then it printed OK.
