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 have uploaded a sample TIF file. The GIMP version is 2.2.12 |

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. |
