What were you trying to do?
Print a postscript file to a duplex print queue (meadow2).
What's wrong:
The postscript file was generated by Framemaker. The first
line of the file contained only "%!", rather than
"%!PS-Adobe-2.0". This confused the duplex filter into doing
the wrong thing. I got a printed page of output stating:
ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: ngBox:
STACK:
This was clealy caused by the filter splitting up the
"%%BoundingBox: " line.
What should have happened:
The filter should be smart enough to deal with just a %! on the
first line.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
The file was /mit/6.004/student/Psets/PS#8.ps. Here are the
first few lines:
%!
%%BoundingBox: (atend)
%%Pages: (atend)
%%DocumentFonts: (atend)
%%EndComments
