Re: Printing from Freehand - Postscript nostringval error Dov Isaacs Aug 2, 2012 8:31 PM (in response to HenryLwin) There could be any number of reasons for getting a PostScript error from Freehand or any other application.You gave no details about the type of printer you are printing to other than the implied fact that it is a printer that supports PostScript in one manner or another.

Other printers on the network work just fine. I can see the printer to add it but when I do so I always get a generic printer as the driver choice. I can manually look for the printer driver - for example an HP LaserJet 4100. Attempts to print simple text from any application get the above error.

In a post here,related to Windows but HP laserjet printers (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1105046&tstart=866) it helped to try HP's Universal Postscript driver (last post in the thread).I did see a post re installation of an HP 4000 on Windows (http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-3395388.php) that one shouldn't install the HP 4000 (admittedly slightly different than the 4100) as a network printer but as a local printer. Maybe that is relevant.Hope it helps some./p Posted on Aug 21, 2008 3:24 AM See the answer in context Close Q: Network Printing Error in 10.5.4 All replies Helpful answers by pullman,Solvedanswer pullman Aug 21, 2008 3:24 AM in response to rbspielman Level 4 (1,148 points) Desktops Aug 21, 2008 3:24 AM in response to rbspielman Welcome to Discussions.I just googled for the error and it seems it may be postscript-related.
