To test communication between your printer and your PC, first create a short file that
ejects a page from the printer. Then send the file to the printer.
(*
To create the test file, type the following commands at the DOS prompt:
copy con printest.ps
↵
showpage
↵
^D^Z
↵
(All commands above except the DOS copy command are case sensitive and must
be typed exactly as shown.) Showpage is a PostScript command that prints a blank
page. The
↵
symbol means to press the Enter key. To produce the ^D and ^Z, press
and hold down the Ctrl key while you type the appropriate letters (d and z). These
characters signify the end of the file and must always be included.
