A few more details please:

What kind of PS printer, what level PS and do you have the latest PPD for your postscript printer.

Also, what created the tiff ?

This error means that your printer does not support fully PostScript 3. You should select PostScript level 2 when printing to this specific printer.

Responding to plinnell & jghali--

Details:

Kind of PS printer: Xerox Tektronix Phaser 860

PS level: 3

Latest PPD: Latest (2002) from Xerox for this printer now installed

Tiff created in the GIMP

I tried with a smaller grayscale image: same failure.

Attempts to print as PostScript 3 produce the error message.

Attempts to print as PostScript 2 produce no error message.

http://www.office.xerox.com/color-printers/phaser-860/spec-enus.html tells me this is a genuine Adobe PS3 printer, so it should work OK.

Can you upload a sample tiff (max 5MB) which shows the issue?

Which version of GIMP also please ?

I've done some testing with this file:

1) I've resaved it from PS6.01. Please try this in place of the original and see and advise if printing is OK.

2) I printed to file with both TIFF's and then ran the Postscript file through Acrobat Distiller 6.05. No issues no warnings. This Postscript is exactly the same sent as a print file from Scribus.

3) GSview 4.8 with GS 8.54 shows no errors or issues.

Monday I can test this against another PS3 printer.

All of these tests were done with 1.3.3.2 as we released on Windows 2k SP4

Thank you for the new file.

I tried it with my printer and produced the same results: error message, no image in PS3 and no error message, no image in PS2.
