  Description:               POSTSCRIPT PRINTING IN TRAINING COMPLEX

  Format Printer Type:       PS

  Print queue:               TRAINING_POST

  Printer level:             LN03R-PS

760.1Check Destination Printer TypeIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4AWed May 27 1992 21:398
The Destination Printer Type of SYSTEM_PSPRINT is for the 'DECPrint Utility
for PostScript to Sixel Printers' utility, otherwise known as PSPRINT. 

If your printer is a real PostScript printer, such as an LN03-R, then you 
should set the Destination Printer Type to SYSTEM_PRINTER.
