Printer Failure with Multiple Copies or Print Merge and PSNET.

• Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, version 5.5

SUMMARY

When using the PSNET.PRD or PSNETSS.PRD network PostScript printer driver with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS version 5.5, printing multiple copies or performing print merges may fail when you reach a certain number of copies (12 for most printers). A LimitCheck error occurs on PostScript printers that are configured to print PostScript errors.

MORE INFORMATION

To correct this problem, edit the initialization file with the following steps:

1. In Word 5.5, open the initialization file as a text document. The file is named HP3SIPSN.INI for the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIIsi, PSNET.INI or PSNETSS.INI for all other printers.



2. Search for the line that reads:

   
         /PSe {end} def 




3. Modify it to read:

   /PSe { count 2 ge { restore pop } if end } def




4. Below that line, add the following line:

   /IsFirstPage {count 2 ge {1 index (FirstPage) eq} {false} ifelse not} def




5. Search for the line that reads:

   
         /SFL {landscape {dup msu neg 0 exch translate} if msu /ptop exch def
         save} def 




6. Modify it to read:

   /SFL {landscape {dup msu neg 0 exch translate} if msu /ptop exch def IsFirstPage {(FirstPage) save} if} def




7. From the File menu, choose Save As. Select the Text-Only format, and choose the OK button.



8. Turn the printer off and back on before printing to ensure that any previous initialization files are cleared from the printer's memory.
