Indeed. I used "Apple Laserwriter Pro 600" as the PostScript-Maker. I
read some that this driver is ok, I glanced at the header of the test
file and it seemed to be OK. Verifying the driver's output of a current
print with gs 3.33 results in

root@avocado [.../home/byteshifter/tmp] # gs persil.ps

  Major opcode of failed request:  70 (X_PolyFillRectangle)

Could be a bug in the XServer too... (it's only an emulator on PC). But
sending tiger.ps from gs's examples works (displaying and sending).

Any recommendations for the PS-driver under Win95 ???
