Description
As described on http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.printing.a2ps.bugs/2583, there is a bug in a2ps that makes its postscript output incompatible with Adobe's distiller (and therefore OS X's Preview.app and its printing system). e.g. do: $ sudo port install a2ps $ echo "Test text" >> test.txt $ a2ps -o test.ps test.txt Then either open test.ps in Preview.app or run $ pstopdf test.ps Which results in the error: %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: iso1dict; ErrorInfo: CharOffsets %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%% %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% pstopdf failed on file test.ps with error code -31000 Shorter, less useful errors with the same origin result if you open test.ps in Preview.app or send a2ps's output straight to printer (omit -o test.ps).
