Here's what my colleague did to print out the postscript file: ---------- Forwarded message begins here ---------- From: Christopher Hogan <chogan@york.mt.cs.cmu.edu> To: Kathryn L Baker <klbaker+@andrew.cmu.edu> Subject: Re: getting HPSG / Minimalism paper to print In-Reply-To: <kmPWe4O00iISBHuKY0@andrew.cmu.edu> References: <Added.kmPJcW_00UdaBFLU52@andrew.cmu.edu> <kmPWe4O00iISBHuKY0@andrew.cmu.edu> The problem is in the command 'setpagedevice', which appears to be a Postscript command for specifying the page format. Unfortunately, while 'gs' and 'gv' support it, the printers I've tried don't. The solution is to delete the command, being careful not to affect anything else. To do this, edit the 'mpcrit1.ps' file, and search for 'setpagedevice'. There are only four occurrences of this command in the file, all in the same place. The relevant lines look like this: { 1 dict dup /Policies 2 dict dup /PageSize 2 put dup /MediaType 0 put put setpagedevice 2 dict dup /PageSize [595 842] put dup /ImagingBBox null put setpagedevice }stopped { 1 dict dup /Policies 2 dict dup /PageSize 2 put dup /MediaType 0 put put setpagedevice 2 dict dup /PageSize [595 842] put dup /ImagingBBox null put setpagedevice }if You need to comment out the entire lines, using the comment character '%'. The result should look like this: { % 1 dict dup /Policies 2 dict dup /PageSize 2 put dup /MediaType 0 put put setpagedevice 2 dict dup /PageSize [595 842] put dup /ImagingBBox null put setpagedevice }stopped { % 1 dict dup /Policies 2 dict dup /PageSize 2 put dup /MediaType 0 put put setpagedevice 2 dict dup /PageSize [595 842] put dup /ImagingBBox null put setpagedevice }if Now, just save the file, and print it. This solution worked for me: it resulted in a printout that looked kind of tight on a page, but nothing was missing, and it was perfectly readable, if not publishable-quality. Feel free to post my hacks to the list. --chris -- christopher m. hogan language technologies institute chogan@cs.cmu.edu carnegie mellon university computational linguistics pittsburgh, pa http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/chogan/Web/HomePage.html
