Re: [SL] printing

[Bill D. <wa...@gm...>]

Hi Jeff:

Thanks for the reply.

Neither postscript nor pdf will print to the laser.

When I print to the screen with postscript or pdf selected, firefox
opens a dialog box asking if I want to open the file with ghostview.
When I select OK the invoice opens fine in ghostview for postscript
and pdf. I can then print the invoice from ghostview whether I printed
to screen as pdf or postscript.

Sorry I wasn't clearer on this to begin with.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Regards,
Bill Dika
