Not related to Netatalk (though I am using it too, without problems so far), I had a problem with printing binary images out of QuarkExpress to a brand new Lexmark M412 via lpr (lpr is a cool new ability of MacOS 9.1). It would print garbage instead of the intended output if images were sent in binary form. In the QuarkExpress print properties I was able to send the images as either ASCII encoded or (I think) Base64 encoded with success. I'm not sure if Photoshop will also offer such an option. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
