Hello Monks,
I'd like to know if anyone here has the same problem that I'm having now.
I've created a ps file with the PostScript::Simple and for some reasons I've also imported an eps file to that ps file. The problem is when I try to print it from my GSView, it works fine. But I cannot use the lpr command to print it out.
It seems that the printer cannot interpret the ps file correctly.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
The following code is just an example that I use for testing
   
use PostScript::Simple;
use strict;
use warnings;        
    # create an eps object
    my $e = new PostScript::Simple::EPS(file => "body.eps", colour=>1)
+;
    # create a new PostScript object
    my $p = new PostScript::Simple(papersize => "A4",
                                colour => 1);
    
    # create a new page
    $p->newpage;
    # add eps to the current page
    $p->importeps($e, 0,0);
    $p->output("headps.ps");
    system("lpr -S serverN -P printerN headps.ps") == 0 or die $!;

Thanks in advance.
If you don't have eps file to test, use mine
