Offending Command

RESOLUTION
This problem was corrected in version 3.53 of PSCRIPT.DRV.

MORE INFORMATION
The following printers may exhibit this problem:


 * IBM Laser Printer 4019 PS17 (IBM17521.WPD)

When you select most of the PostScript printers that come with Windows 3.1, you are actually installing two files. The first file is PSCRIPT.DRV, which is the PostScript driver, and the second is a Windows printer definition file (.WPD) that further defines the PostScript driver with usable features such as paper sizes and sources.

&quot;Offending Command&quot; is the most common Postscript error message that you will receive in Windows. This is not exclusive to the 3.52 version of the PSCRIPT.DRV file.
