Revised: 13-Aug-2002

Abstract

The following document discusses compatibility problems with ScriptServer for OpenVMS Electronic Forms when used with the PostScript interpreter found in HP LaserJet 4000, 5000, and 8000 models.

Problem Synopsis

ScriptServer Electronic Forms fail when printing to HP LaserJet x000 printers, generating one of the following symptoms:

a Print Log with the error %%[Error: undefined; OffendingCommand LM ]%%
the printer halts with a "XX.X PRINTER ERROR" displayed on the console

The Solution

The main differences between the prior release of SSV$EPS2FORM (V1.6), and the current release (V2.0) are the removal of several of the restrictions that were present in version 1.6, including:

embedded fonts
embedded bitmapped images
gradients
support for larger, more complex EPS files
support for Adobe Illustrator EPS files

This final restriction can be circumvented by saving Illustrator EPS files in Version 4 or earlier format.

The problem is due to a particular firmware revision in the printer.

If you need a copy of the previous version of the SSV$EPS2FORM program, contact us.
