Re: [MiKTeX] Re: Postscript printing in Miktex 2.5 beta7

[Wenchang S. <wen...@un...>]

It does happen for Yap 2.5 and 2.4.

I am using Windows XP and a HP LJ1320 printer.

1> The printer is connected with the computer using a USB port.

Yap 2.5:  "print postscipt" will produce a file "DOT4_001" in the current 
directory.
Here "DOT4_001" happens to be the port name which is used by the printer.

Yap 2.4. The same thing happens if I choose  "DVI->postscript->printer".
And it prints a file correctly if I choose 
"dvi->postscript->bitmap->printer".

2> The printer is connected with the computer using the parallel port 
(LPT1)

Both Yap 2.4 and Yap 2.5 can "print postscript", but can not print double 
sides automatically.

PS: I can not create a file named as "LPT1" or "PRN". However, it is no 
problem to create a file
named as "USB001", "USB002", "DOT4_001",  ...,  all of which are port 
names.

Best,
Wenchang
