Producing PostScript Output
You can specify any type of stylesheet to produce PostScript. Windows users need to select a PostScript printer as their default printer using the Arbortext Publishing Engine Configuration program, available from a shortcut on the Arbortext Publishing Engine program group.
You can control the behavior of the PostScript generator by specifying the print-options parameter. The print-options=option-list parameter can take some of the arguments that are supported for the print composed command of Arbortext Editor. The Arbortext Publishing Engine Interactive online help print command topic provides information about the supported print composed command arguments that are not specifically excluded in the following list.

The conversion processor issues a print composed command and specifies some command parameters to produce the output. To be sure you don't override the values Arbortext Publishing Engine uses, do not specify any of the following print options:
[all | current | page_range]
[onepass | allpasses | noformat]
[force | auto]
[wait | nowait]
[printer=printer_name]
[file=path_name]
[color | monochrome]
[panel]
stylesheet=path
|
The following options are safe for use:
All | page_range
portrait | landscape
papersize=uslegal | usletter | a4 | b5
paperheight=n
paperwidth=n
options="pubps_options"
copies=n
To submit a list of values for print-options=option-list that contains spaces and quotation marks, you need to replace them in the HTTP request with hexadecimal notation. For instance, a space is noted as %20, and a quotation mark is noted as %22. The following example sets landscape orientation with datemark on:
f=convert&print-options=landscape%20options=%22-datemark%20on%22
If you are having problems producing PostScript, refer to the Installation Guide for Arbortext Publishing Engine section on printer setup considerations.
