I have a Lexmark optra 310, a postscript printer that's now about 5 years old. I never had any problems with it until recently, following a system upgrade to OS X10.2.8. It now seems that certain pages are unprintable on this printer. I've particularly noticed it in Word X, and most of the unprintable pages were ones that involve round bullets that were selected from the Word pallet. Replacing these bullets with my own version (opt-8) usually, but doesn't always solve the problem. It's also time-consuming to replace these things. I'm wondering if the problem is with the printer, a corrupt font or Word itself?
I've done some testing. First of all, I tried going to another volume, which happened to be running X 10.2.6 and had an older Lexmark driver. A page that wouldn't print on my regular volume (with 10.2.8) would print on the other volume. Next step, I tried copying the ppd contents of the root/library/printers folder from the 10.2.6 system into my regular volume. Didn't make any difference; still getting printer error and no printing of the offending pages. Next I set my printer settings to print out errors, and here's what I got:
ERROR: syntaxerror
OFFENDING COMMAND: .
STACK:
/DQLIXB+
/Fontname
What does this mean?
