OK, hotshot: I tried to get the PostScript RIP to run on an NT/W box (dual
rePentium II IBM PC Server 325), and it wiped it out. Are you using a
different RIP than the Adobe-supplied 2015.xxx RIP; and if you are using
the Epson RIP, how are you doing it?! :)
[I'll bet you're connecting top the printer via the parallel port...]
Thanks!
Dan
