= SUMMARY =

If a PostScript emulation printer, such as the QMS 810 or the NEC LC- 890, prints the POSTSCRP.INI file when trying to print from Works, the printer is NOT in PostScript emulation mode.

PostScript printers cannot print text files. They must interpret PostScript commands in order to print anything.

Therefore, if a printer is printing PostScript code, it is either not a true PostScript printer, or it is set to the wrong emulation mode. Follow the instructions in your printer manual to set the printer to PostScript emulation mode, and print your file again.
