Optional settings for writing postscript?
Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2006 8:41 pm
I am trying to batch print a large number of tiff (g4) files to a postscript printer. I do this by calling nconvert like this:
The job spools and reaches the printer but doesn't print since the printer still shows the message "waiting for data". If I then press the "OK" button on the printer, the image is printed OK.
I have also tried this by printing to a local printer but with the same result.
Trying to convert and print using pcl format instead also gives the same result.
If I convert the image into a postscript file, I can open the file in GSView and it looks good there.
I then tried to copy the postscript file produced by nconvert to the printer:
This also gave the same result (have to press "OK" button on printer to get the image printed).
If I take another postscript file (produced from a pdf by pdftops.exe from xpdf) and copy it to the print spool it will print directly without waiting for more data.
This leads me to believe that this must have something to do with the postscript format produced nconvert . Is it possible to somehow alter the postscript written by nconvert (ie, level 1,2 or 3)?
Code: Select all
nconvert.exe -quiet -out ps -o \\computer\spool c:\Temp\faximage.tifI have also tried this by printing to a local printer but with the same result.
