IDL PostScript messes up printing graphics? [message #1111]

This problem has plagued me for years... Now it's come up again a bunch of
times this week. I just want to find out if anyone else has seen this and
if there is a quick answer. You may know how these things go: there are
so many variables that no one else has the same environment, and doesn't
see my problem. Anyway...

Sometimes when a user prints a PostScript job generated from IDL on one of
our HP LaserJet III (resolution enhanced with Pacific Page PostScript
cartridges and accelerators), subsequent print jobs have their graphics
garbled. The subsequent jobs can be graphics in TeX or NCAR Graphics, for
example.

Thank you for your time.

You can use the OUTPUT keyword to the DEVICE command
to send arbitrary "commands" to the PostScript device.
Whether you can completely replace the prolog or not,
I don't know. Sounds like the job of an awk script to
me. :-)

Cheers,

David
