I am trying to print a few of the programming reference manuals for use by
our Help Desk from the Documentation CD-ROM using dxbook under Digital
Unix 4.0.
Most of the manuals look okay on the screen, although there is some problem
with shading on the portions of the manual which indicate Digital extensions
to the standard in several of the language books.
When many of these pages print, however, they look awful. Most of the tabs
are ruined in the examples, and in the code there are no carrage returns.
Several of the figures are printed overtop of text.
I've tried printing directly to the printer and saving the output to a
postscript file, but the results are always the same. Does anyone know if
there is a workaround to get these books to print correctly? Is it my
printer that has a problem printing "Digital style postscript?"
I've printed several postscript files from other sources (downloaded from
the internet) and have had no problems in the output, so I am inclined
to conclude it is the dxbook software that is not creating proper
postscript.
Has anyone found a workaround for getting good postscript out of the
dxbook? Is there an alternate way to print out the documentation
besides using the "as text" option, which eliminates the figures and
some code?
TIA
