Locating a post script printer

Hi all,
Its my understanding that MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion have a post script printer loaded up. When I try to select this printer, I do not see it. How can I find it? If there is not one built in, what is a good driver to get?
Thanks!

Apple does not make printers as far as I know, you must choose a printer that fits your needs, then download the drivers from the manufacturers site.
I think they refer to them as "air printers"

PostScript printer - send it to the printer port e.g. LPT1: with a simple copy.
Non-PostScript printer - you'll need to buy a PostScript RIP, or perhaps use Acrobat Distiller to convert the PostScript to PDF, then print the PDF with Acrobat's API - see the Acrobat SDK. (This is not possible with the free Reader).

How do I get to use my printer post script fonts in Illustrator and In Design

I am running the CS2 Suite with Photo Shop, Illustrator, and In Design. I have purchased a Xerox 8550 post script printer, and it comes with 40 really cool post script fonts. I know that Adobe uses the common files folder in program files to store the fonts, but it dosn't list the fonts that are resident in my printer. Is there any way that I can tell the common files area that I have these resident fonts, if so, how?
Thanks,
Tom

That would be up to the printer driver. When installed, it should create either a full set of PostScript fonts, a set of bitmap placeholder fonts or offer a way to manage fonts on the printer, including downloading them manually - if allowed. The driver is also the place where to look for font substitution rules. Double-check the manual/ help files for the printer, I'm sure it's explained somewhere...

Aperture update and post script printers

I downloaded the latest Apple update for raw cameras, ie 50D, and now when I move any image to photoshop to print, I get a pop-up saying my epson 2400 is not a post-script printer and all prints cone out very dark regardless of adjustments....any ideas. The printer/photoshop combo has worked perfectly up to this point.

How are you moving your file from aperture to photoshop and in what format?
Check that the export preset you are using from aperture has not been changed by update.
Does the image look ok in photoshop before sending to printer? Does it look very different from same image in Aperture?
Try printing direct from Aperture (if you need photoshop processing do it using photoshop as the external editor), Aperture can do very good prints.
Try printing an image from photoshop that was exported from aperture before the update, if thats still bad then problem would appear to be with photoshop, if that print is good then problem probably lies between aperture/photoshop.
What version of Photoshop do you use?
Have you done any other updates to your system software in the same period?

How do I download a post script driver to create a PDF, I am receiving an erro message system error:1797 ?

I am trying to create a PDF from my layout page. I get the message that I have to download a post script driver. I have gone to the Adobe download site and attempted to download the driver but I get the error message Failure is AddPrinter (generic post script printer). System error: 1797 Printer driver unknown.
I have a HP Office Jet 6600 printer. Can anyone help?

Hi Chapinpro,
In order to convert your document/ Print your document to PDF you need to have PDF printer installed, which gets installed after installing Adobe Acrobat.
Using Adobe Acrobat you can convert most of documents to PDF.
Note: Postscript drivers are meant to convert documents to PDF format.
"These drivers enable you to print documents from applications running in these Windows platforms to any printer that includes Adobe PostScript Level 2 or Adobe PostScript 3. You can also use this driver if you received a previous version of AdobePS bundled with an Adobe application, and are printing to any device that supports PostScript language level 2 or later. This version of the AdobePS printer driver does not work with PostScript Level 1 devices, and does not work with Windows NT 3.5x. " Reference:: Adobe - PostScript printer drivers : For Windows : Adobe Universal PostScript Windows Driver Installer 1.0.6 - English

Post Script Drivers

Hi All,
We are using Canon IR8500 printer with 'POST Script printer driver' .
Our requirement is to print text vertically on a smart form using this printer. The way out is to define a print control for this printer to print the text vertically. But we dont have the Hexadecimal string or control character sequence to define the print control.
I have a hexadecimal string which we can use if we are using PCL driver; so i need the string for Post Script driver.
Please reply back if anybody knows wt's the string or how we can get that string value.
Thanks in advance.

Pdf reader X has problems with small pdf and printer with post script driver

Hi friends.
I have installed new Reader X and then i saw that, when i print a very small pdf with about 50 kb and i print it on a Laserjet 4000 printer the printer has problem with the amount of data that reader 10 produces.
When i install a Postscript driver for the printer my computer makes up to 3.5MB printer data from a 50kb pdf.
When i install a PCL driver for the printer my computer makes only 350kb from the same 50kb pdf file!!!!
When i install Reader 9.3 the 50kb file becomes also only 350kb on the printer with post script driver, and i can print without problems also.
my printer has 8 MB Ram and that should be enough for 3.5MB printer data.
But when i print the pdf with 1 side only, the printer created a side who is only filled with 50% of the text, then there comes out a second page with the message.....not enough memory in the printer.
i can not change the postscript driver to a pcl driver cause our ERP System can not handle printer with PCL drivers.
Can someone help me please.........are there settings in Reader X who can solve my problem ???
Thank you very much for help!

Register and unregister locations using ombplus script

hi
how to register and unregister the locations using ombplus scripts.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Keka

The deployment script I have posted previously to copy a project mdl over to a new repository for local deployment includes creating a control center, making it the default for your project, creating the locations, assigning them to the control center, and registering them.
Re: importing mappings using OMBPLUS
To unregister a location, first you want to undeploy anything deployed from it to avoid dangling references int he repository, and then unregister the location.
I do that in the following drop_project script that we use to delete an old copy of the project before importing the new version.

exec_omb OMBDISCONNECTThis script uses the same config and library file given in the other post that I pointed you towards. That is where you will find the definition for exec_omb, for example which is simply a wrapper for OMB+ calls
Now, note that I don't un-deploy any tables, views, sequences etc. We use Designer as our location of record for the data model metadata so our OWB project never deploys any object metadata except for mappings. Your setup may be different, still this should point you in the right direction.

How to install post script fonts in lion?

how do I install post script fonts in lion?

"Font Manager". What do you like best?
In my opinion, the only two worth considering are Suitcase Fusion 3, or FontExplorerX Pro.
You're correct. Can you tell me more about "resource fork"
All Mac files have two parts. A data fork, and a resource fork. Also known as A and B. To make that easier to understand, DOS/Windows only has a data fork for each file or folder. All information is written into one location for that item. Macs have two separate file data parts for each file or folder. Normally, the data is in the data fork (the main body of an image, Word document, etc.). The resource fork is normally used for the desktop icon, file and creation dates, and other simpler metadata.
However, Type 1 fonts and older Mac legacy TrueType fonts had pretty much everything in the resource fork, including the font's binary data. So if the resource fork gets stripped, you end up with nothing left but a file name. As a related example, Apple's .dfont stands for "Data Fork Font". With the now rather obvious meaning the the font's binary data in is the data fork instead of the resource fork.
An easy way around the problem is to take a Mac formatted flash drive and copy the fonts onto that drive directly from the Mac the fonts are on. Then copy them onto the new Mac from the flash drive.

Converting Back to Original PDF Using Post Script File

Is there any way to convert back to an original PDF using a post srcipt file that was created from that original PDF? Allow me to fully explain my situation:
I converted multiple pdf's that I created into a post script file. I then utilized Adobe Distiller to convert them into a pdf that could be used for better printing and better usability by the end user. Unfortunately, when Distiller did this conversion, it replaced my original pdf with the new one. By the time I realized what was happening, all files had been replaced.
I still have the post script file that was created from the original PDF file; is there any way possible using this post script file that it can be somehow converted back to the original PDF file? There are some edits that I need to do on the original PDF. The pdf that Distiller creates doesn't allow for anymore edits. My goal is to be able to make my edits without having to re-create 37 pages of documents.
The software versions I'm using are as follows: Adobe Acrobat X Version 10.1.4, Adobe Distiller Version 10.1.438.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

Hello, thank you for responding.
Yes the url links start with http:
For example when I type in
http://canberracontemporaryartspace.wordpress.com/2013/07/06/staying-out-of-trouble/
in the word document and click on it, the link works; but when I save it as a pdf it says "not found"
And then when I type in

in the word document and click on it, the link works; but when I save it as a pdf it says "page not found"

Indesign Post Script name changing to back up file name

Hi all
I am in a pre press workflow that requires that I write a post-script file to a hot folder.
So saving as a post-script is the only option for our entire workflow to take place.
When saving the post script file from indesign , the name defaults to the back up file name which is
not similar to the original file name. We deal with an extremely large number of pages
and need for this file name to stay the same as the original not the back up. Manually putting these file names
in is a serious chance for error and takes too much time.
Does anyone know how to prevent the name from changing?
Thanks for any help.

You should be posting to the InDesign or Acrobat forum. Please repost there giving them your version of InDesign and Acrobat. Detail you method of creating the postscript file. You should be printing to file using the Adobe PDF printer instance. I only suggest the InDesign forum, since the print dialog box in InDesign is not a standard Windows Print dialog box.

Creating Post Script File from Word Document

Hi How to create a Ps File from Word document.. Is there any api to do this ?
~Arjun

(1) It is
PostScript, not
Post Script or
Ps!
(2) To create PostScript from a Microsoft Word document, you simply open such a document in Microsoft Word and print to a PostScript printer driver instance, but chose the
Print to file option. Note that since PostScript from drivers is device-dependent, you do need to choose a PostScript printer driver instance very carefully based on a PPD that has few device dependencies.

SapScript output spool to a POST script file

We generate billing invoice output using custom
program/Sap script. Subsequently we release the invoice print out from
the print spool to create a post script file from the print spool by configuring command set "G" in
transaction u201CSPADu201D. This processis is working fine in R/3
However, when we migrated the same functionality to ECC, we are finding
that the file created containing only garbage data.
Anyone has encountered this issue and have suggestions to resolve this.
Thanks

Hi Gary
How the issue is resolved, please let me know. Since i am also facing same issue.

@Jack – you were using a joboptions file by Distiller to convert a PostScript file to a PDF/X-1a.
What you get is no error message, just a report, that everything went ok. And in this case I cannot see any advantage using PDF Export for printing to PostScript/distilling to PDF. Ok, maybe one, CS5 and above would export in a background process.
To prevent InDesign flattening transparency, you could use PDF/X-4 as your export setting. You cannot use writing to PostScript for that task.
Check including tags for tagged export to prevent misalignment of text because of a strange bug with PDF Export when you are using 9pt text on 12pt leading or text with a ratio of 9/12 for point size and leading in multicolumn text frames.
