However, it has happened that the A4 size document has not come out of a black and white postscript printer, but has printed okay with Tektronix Phaser and hirvi. In this case if you need a black and white version, you may first convert your postscript to pdf format using Adobe Acrobat Distiller and print the pdf file from Adobe Acrobat Viewer to the BW postscript printer. For ensuring good quality of the postscript objects that one includes into the poster, it is sometimes good to read the postscript figure to Adobe Illustrator and save it from there as eps file, and include this one to the poster instead of the original one. In NT, in the beginning of the created postscript file there are usually printer control commands that must be removed in order for Illustrator to understand that it is reading a postscript file. Illustrator is very choosy on postscript quality-many postscript files that can be viewed with postcript preview program can not be read into Illustrator.
Varieties are endless, feel free to experiment.
Note also that after recycling, the size of your postscript file is probably increased manyfold. Since we are printing to file, the actual IP address does not matter, any port will do. Note that the PPD for hirvi is also on the CD-ROM which contains the printer drivers. Next, set the settings in Print Paper window as shown in Fig. 2. It reduces the postscript file size, but also reduces resolution.
