= SUMMARY =

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

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

Therefore, if a printer is printing PostScript code, either it is not a true PostScript printer or it is set to the wrong emulation mode. Refer to the printer’s user’s manual to determine the correct settings.
