Re: create ps file with PostScript::Simple

I tried to run your script, but I get this warning:

"EPS must contain a BoundingBox at line 6"

That's weird!! Because I don't see any warning. Besides, the eps file does contain the BBox. If you do `my ($hx1, $hy1, $hx2, $hy2)= $e->get_bbox(); print " bbox coordinates ($hx1, $hy1, $hx2, $hy2) \n";` [download] you'll see its coordinates.	[reply] [d/l]

Weird? No. I used an EPS that I've had for awhile. Evidently, it's corrupt. I tried your EPS, and yes there's a bbox. Now it comes back with "unknown option -S". Sorry. Update: changed -S to -H and got "lpr: success". Update2: changed `system("lpr -H server -P printerN headps.ps) == 0 or die $!;` to this: `system("lpr -H server -P printerN headps.ps) or die $?;`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I used -H instead to -S like you said but I got this error : Died at C:/Documents and Settings/workspace/Printing/new.pl line 17. I think that the ps file created has been corrupt, not the eps file . So that's why when it's sent to the printer, it cannot be printed. But I don't know how to fix it :(	[reply]
