Printing postscript files

I have been able for years to print postscript files (*.ps) stored in a desktop folder by dragging them to the desktop printer (HP 4600) in os 9.
New to Tiger, I find the same approach leads to two problems:
the files are printing in reverse order (i.e., files "A.ps", "B.ps", "C.ps" when dragged to the printer print in the order of "C.ps", "B.ps", "A.ps". This will not do.
Second, the printer has a duplex unit installed and is set to use it, but the pages are not printing back-to-back, only one side per page.
I am at a loss as to how to make it do what I want (and what it used to do).
I doubt I am in need of special software, and I do not want to convert to PDF files.
Can anyone direct me to the answers (or better yet, just give me the answers)?
Thank you.

Yes, I really need a PS file. Here's the procedure: I create a newsletter in Adobe InDesign. I print to a booklet using a printer designated for creating direct-to-plate. It automatically generates a postscript file. What happens is that the file is created properly and I always check it through Adobe Acrobat Professional to be sure there are no errors. There is either something in the InDesign procedure or in the Adobe Distiller that converts the halftone files incorrectly. The type comes out okay, but anything with grayscale imaging or with screens comes out in solid black or white, no "dots" if you will. I don't know if I am explaining myself properly, but I am a commercial printer and I use this procedure to create the plate I use to print the job on my press.
Does this make any sense to you?

  • Indesign CS5 Duplex printing Postscript file

    I am designing a book half english half spanish—It is an instruction manual so you read the english then flip it and read the spanish.
    In my Indesign CS5 document pages 1-30 are English then 30-1 again are spanish (upside down). I need to export them as a postscript file so that I can print it double sided correctly for a mock up.
    I am making multiples of these books and only some are exporting to a postscript correctly and I cannot figure out why.
    When exported to postscript correctly, it should look as if the left page is the cover in english and directly to the right of it is spanish but upside down, and then it alternates all the way to the end. So for example:
    Spread 1: English on left right side up, Spanish on right upside down.
    Spread 2: Spanish on left, English on right
    Spread 3: English on left, Spanish on right.. and so on
    But, some, are exporting so it shows a cover, then a blank page, and all the pages are jumbled up. (I do have "do not include blank pages ticked when exporting to postscript)
    The only guess I have is that it has to do with the page and section numbering? I don't know if this effects how the postscript converts or not. But, I have several books exporting very differently to post script. Please let me know if anyone can help me figure this out!

    I had a brief PM conversation with Stephen this morning, and it just hit me that I may have been thinking about this incorrectly. There are actually two approaches to this kind of document.
    The approach I've been envisioning presents the reader with all the text on only the right-hand pages -- the lefts are all the other language upside down. But thinking back to my youth and buying some two-title sci-fi paperbacks, I think those were built so that if you tore apart the binding in the center of the book you'd wind up with two "normal" books without back covers, and there would be no page overlap between the two titles.
    I'm guessing that the OP actually means to do the second, and I apologize for being dense yesterday. Seems like it was happening all week. If that's true (I mean the binding layout, not my being dense), then I understand what you were saying about Print Booklet, and there's actually a pretty easy way to make this work, I think without a plugin (though IDImposer might turn out to be even easier).
    Here's the approach I would use to make a single book that can be cut apart to make two independent volumes:
    First, download Scott Zanelli's Multipage Importer script from InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files The script allows you to automate placing multiple pages from either a PDF or another .indd file into a new .indd doc, and it allows you to select the page range to import, the page on which to start placing, and allows scaling, rotation and alignment adjustments.
    Since you have two 30-page sections, make a new 60-page file. The first time you run the script, place the first 30 pages normally, starting on page 1. Now run the script again, choosing the range 31-60, but do the following: check the Reverse Page Order box, Start Placing on Doument Page 31, and Rotate 180:
    You can run this new file trough Print booklet.
    The original content in the new file cannot be edited directly other than moving pages around or cropping/sizing/repostioning the page images. If you need to make text changes or other edits, do them ithe original, then update the links.

  • Difference in printing PostScript file via Preview and lpr?

    I have a PostScript file which prints entirely
    different from Preview than it does when printed
    via lpr, e.g., the fonts are different as well
    as the page rotation.
    I'd like the lpr output to be the same as when
    printed from Preview. Can I do that?
    Thanks in advance.

    Most PostScript printers have a number of default settings within their printer menu, such as default font, orientation, finishing options, etc. When you submit a PS file via Terminal to the printer, the spool file will be printed according to these settings.
    When you print from an application using a PS driver, these built-in settings will be over-ridden by those same values that are set in the driver. By opening the PS file in Preview, which will first be converted to a PDF so you can see it, and then printing this file, you have submitted this spool file with the default driver settings which are obviously different to those set in the printer.
    So, if you want your LPR output to be the same, you will need to check what the printer driver settings are defaulted to and then make changes to the printers internal PS values.

  • Printing postscript file from IDcs3 for Distiller

    I have just upgraded my mac to a MP 2.8 quad duo and hence to Leopard. I am running OS 10.5.2 and ID 5.02 so it is all up to date. I have cs3 design premium installed.
    When running IDcs3 on OS 10.4 in order to create a pdf for 4 color print I would print a ps file from IDcs3. I select postscript file as the printer option and then in the PPD field choose Acrobat printer.
    Now, having migrated to Leopard, the Acrobat option is no longer available in the PPD field. I have reinstalled Acrobat Professional to see if there was a problem with the printer profiles being installed, but that did not change anything.
    I would have thought that selecting a PPD of "device independent" should work, but with that option selected I am unable to select the page size options.
    How do I create postscript files from IDcs3 for Distiller?

    WRT/ PDF/X-4, be aware that the final PDF/X-4 specification was published only one month ago by ISO. What is supported by Acrobat 8.x and InDesign 5.x does
    not fully comply with that specification. The next major releases of Acrobat and the Creative Suite will provide full PDF/X-4 support.
    Note that PDF/X-4 provides for full color-managed PDF 1.6 with support for live transparency, JPEG2000 image compression, and layers for (for versioning/editioning printing).
    Although the current release of the Adobe PDF Print Engine is not an officially compliant reader of PDF/X-4 files, PDF/X-4 is the ideal PDF variant for same.
    In terms of Distiller, there are no plans to provide support for PDF/X-4 in the Distiller simply because the Distiller doesn't support live transparency. Although one could conceivably ruin transparency by flattening and then validate the resultant PDF file as conforming to PDF/X-4 -- there is no requirement for live transparency -- use of flattened transparency in PDF/X-4 is certainly against the spirit of the standard we put together and by disallowing its production directly from Distiller or allowing InDesign's PDF export to flatten transparency going into PDF/X-4, we hope to dramatically improve the situation vis-a-vis rendering of transparency for printing by keeping transparency "live" and at its highest level of abstraction until RIP time.

  • Print postscript files from flash cs3 to get vector information

    I've been playing around with some dynamic flash paintings
    and would like to export the vector information. I've tried
    choosing "print--save pdf--save pdf as postscript" I installed
    Adobe's PS drivers. I set up a virtual printer on localhost using
    AdobeDistiller. This is not working for me.
    I witnessed flash exporting vector information this way on a
    pc, but can't seem to get this working on a mac. The pc user
    downloaded and installed postscript drivers from Adobe and used a
    similar method.
    I'm on Mac OS 10.4.11
    Any ideas? This has been frustrating me for some time.
    Thanks ahead of time for the help!

    There are several ways to do this.
    The easiest one, I think, is exporting a FLV file from the Render Queue, picking in the Outpit Module one of the "Same as source (Flash 8 and Higher)" FLV presets, modified manually just to enable the "Encode Alpha Channel" checkbox.
    Because of a known limitation in the Flash authoring app, which can only handle embedded transparency information correctly when done in a certain way, it's strongly recommended after settting the FLV encoding options that you set the "Color" menu in the Output Module to "Straight (Unmatted)". Otherwise you may get ugly halos around certain elements.

  • Cannot print postscript files on Fedora Core 6

    Had you managed to print the same files, or are you talking about files you hadn't attempted to print? Are these PDF files forms that you are trying to fill and print in Reader?

  • Printing a postscript file

    Hi there,
    I wonder if I'm missing something simple here...
    I have this code, which quite happily prints postscript files to the designated printer, however it always prints duplex.
    As you can see, I have added print request attributes to force single-sided and two copies, but both of these attributes are ignored.
              PrintService defaultService = getDefaultPrintService();
              if (defaultService != null) {
                   try {
                        DocPrintJob docPrintJob = defaultService.createPrintJob();
                        FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(printFile);
                        Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fileInputStream, DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT, null);
                        HashPrintRequestAttributeSet attribs = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
                        attribs.add(Sides.ONE_SIDED);   // <====
                        attribs.add(new Copies(2));    // <====
                        docPrintJob.print(doc, attribs);
                   } catch (Exception e) {
                        ExceptionHelper.logException(CLASS, "Print Failure", e);
                        throw new DSEException(DSEException.critical, "", "Input file name : " + outputFileName);
                   } finally {
                        // clean up - now delete the postscript file
                        printFile.delete();
              } else {
                   throw new DSEException(DSEException.critical, "", "Default Printer Has Not Been Set Up: ");
              }I realise you cannot actually run this code, but it is a bit difficult to provide a working example, unless you have a postscript file hanging around (maybe that's simple?) but can anyone spot an obvious mistake in the code I've shown?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Thanks Michael, I've had a quick look at that code and it isn't quite the same functionality - but I'll read it over again in more detail in case it helps.
    I'll give you a Duke Dollar for making the effort to reply.

  • Print postscript script giving error on .print(false) JS CS3

    I found this example here:
    Olav Kvern, "Need script for printing Postscript files (ID CS2)" #4, 19 Nov 2007 4:45 pm
    But if the ID doc has a blank page an error on the myDocument.print(flase); will occur.
    The message I'm getting is:
    The configuration was invalid or the user cancelled. Please try the same operation in the user interface to see more detailed information.
    Once you get rid of the blank or add something to the blank the error is gone. Does anyone know how to stop the error if a user adds a blank page?
    Cheers.

    Thanks priyan, Olav,
    I will try your suggestion priyan. If I can check the page itme and get back a null result I should be able to get the for loop to skip to the next page correct?
    Olav hope you don't mind but I made a slight change to give the user an option to print a specific page if required. Just a warning the script does not check that the number you enter is part of the doc. So if you doc range is from pages 19 to 24 and you try and print page 2 it will error.
    For anyone else out there that finds this useful you can also change the browse option to a drop menu and set the paths for output. This will speed up the process if you have set paths.
    Anyway here is the alteration.

  • Is there a way to create a postscript file in InDesign for a certain page size without a printer?

    I need to set up a postscript file for my book to take it to print but I can set up the print settings for 11 by 17 in. paper. Is there a way to get around this?
    I am using a mac with cs6.

    Is your print service provider requiring a PostScript file? Normally, they would require PDF with any reasonably modern workflow.
    The print to PostScript Printer and Device Independent option is very limited. If there is a particular device your print service provider is using and requires PostScript for, they should be providing a particular PPD for you and thus, allow you to customize the PostScript for that device.

  • How can I print to file (simple output) from the print dialog? Not PDF or PostScript

    Hello
    I do quite a bit of work in virtual terminal (SSH) and I tend to pull enormous amounts of data that need to be saved to a *.txt file. This needs to have ZERO formatting, as it is simply data extracted from a data base (CSV, tab delimited, etc). This information is then formatting through the use of other applications (excel, access, etc). By zero formatting i mean, no text wrap, nothing! It needs to be a text based pure database output.
    I cannot use Print to PDF
    I cannot use Print to PostScript
    both of these include formatting, and erroneous data that would require me many hours to clean up the data by hand. On a Windows based PC you can simply install a "Print to File" printer through your printer setup menu.
    I've spent many hours searching online and other seem to need this same exact type of output.
    The closest thing i've been able to do is create an automator file that upon printing converts the PDF into a text file. This doesn't work as it retains the formatting per the original PDF document. This also doesn't seem to help as some outputs are 30mb in size.
    If anybody could assist with this that would be awesome. Thanks!

  • How do I print to a postscript file with InDesign CS6 without both extensions, .indd.ps?

    How do I print to a postscript file without an .indd extension in InDesign CS6? I choose Print, choose a print preset from my print shop and Save. The first time I tried it was blank (the Hide Extension was checked), so I tried to save and got a dialog box that said it cannot be saved as an .indd file (duh), to choose both or .ps. I chose .ps and it was fine, but every time I postscripted it gave me this dialog box until I unchecked Hide Extension. After I did that, every time I postscript it automatically saves both extensions. Not a big deal but it is annoying. I just want it to end with .ps like it used to. Any ideas on how to fix this?
    Thanks!!

    I have no idea but I am incredibly curious...why are you doing this?
    Printing to postscript is a completely archaic workflow. Export to PDF
    instead.

  • Printing a PDF document within a postscript file

    I know it is possible to print a PDF document from within a postscript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions.  Is is possible to print a single page PDF document multiple times as a booklet?  For example I have a PDF document that is a page of graph paper.  I want to print this PDF file 8 times in the form of a booklet.  Is this possible and if it is how would I code the postscript to do this?
    Thank you  in advance
    David

    Where do you know that “it is possible to print a PDF document from withint a PostScript file using Document Structuring Comments and Document Comment Extensions” from?
    PDF is absolutely not part of the PostScript language itself. Nor is there anything in the DSC specifications that provides for printing a PDF document from within a PostScript file.
    Attached to this posting are the two existing pieces of documentation of DSC from Adobe. Neither references such a capability.
    DSC are simply “comments” within a PostScript program file which may be used by preprocessing software or external applications for various puposes, especially associated with prepress actions and placing of EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) in other graphic arts documents.
    Conceivably some implementor of some PostScript product may have provided some capability to embed a PDF file or to invoke the printing of a PDF file from within a PostScript file using custom DSC. However, this is certainly not part of the official PostScript language. I have also attached those specifications as well!

  • Problem printing booklet to Postscript file to PDF (Mac)

    I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and InDesign CC 9.2.1
    I am trying to export a booklet to a PDF so I can send it to another machine to print.  I am going to File> Print Booklet and I am printing to a PostScript file. I am then opening it up in Preview and the orientation of the file is messed up.  Below are some screenshots.
    So in File>Print Booklet> Preview it shows that I am perfectly inside the guidelines.  Notice it is in landscape mode. 
    Then I export it to a .ps file and open it up in Preview (note: I have also tried Acrobat IX Pro). And the file is messed up and in portrait mode.
    From what I can tell it looks like InDesign is exporting the file in portrait instead of landscape but I can't change it in the InDesign Print Booklet settings because it is greyed out.
    Any recommendations on how to fix this problem? Or workarounds so that I can export a booklet to a PDF?  I need to export it in 2-up saddle stitch mode, so I need page 1 to be next to page 12 and so on. 
    Thank you for the help!

    You need to download and install the ADPDF9.PPD printer description and use it instead of Device Independent.

  • Illustrator CS5 - Cannot make custom size when "printing" a PostScript file

    Hi all,
    I've recently picked up Illustrator CS5, and while this year's model sure is lovely, I'm having an issue when I save a file (or print) as a PostScript file. My aim is to convert the file to a PDF using Distiller and in the Print dialogue box, the PPD field in past versions says something along the lines of Adobe PDF 8.0. In CS5, I do not have the option to select that from the PPD drop down menu (Nor can I find the file to add to the list). Additionally, I can't make a 'custom sized pdf,' only preset paper sizes. I've had to resort to opening my files in CS3 to convert them to PostScript files. I forsee this becoming a problem once I start diving into some of Illustrator CS5's new features.
    I get the feeling the program didn't install with an Adobe PDF plug-in and I can't seem to find a substitute online that isn't from 1999 (!). Is there a way to get that plug-in file that my copy of CS3 is using into my CS5?
    I'm on a Mac by the way, version 10.6.

    I feel your frustration!
    I ran all updates and it did nothing because I was still on an older version of Acrobat. Once I installed Acrobat 9, restarted illustrator, I had all of the PDF options avaliable to me found in the link that fuzzydisco design provided me:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
    Having Acrobat 9 seemed to be the essential missing component to me. If you do have Acrobat 9 already, and its not working, then thats a problem I don't know how to fix unfortunately!
