A PostScript error with offending command stack does not really exist. For some reason the offending command is https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors simply not listed. Troubleshooting an error without knowing which command caused it, can be difficult. The error may be caused by a communication issue. There are fortunately specific cases for which a fix is available: Issues with the HP 4550 and blank pages Every time a Windows machine prints to our HP 4550dn, it also prints two additional pages, one is blank, the second has the following PS error: "ERROR: undefined OFFENDING COMMAND: STACK:" It https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/stack never lists the offending command or stack. This happens when you print binary jobs. The same issue is discussed in this thread. Either change the printer driver postscript settings to ASCII or, if you want binary for smaller print jobs when printing over the TCP/IP network to the Jetdirect's LPR BINPS queue, do then the following: When you print into a file (hint: change Port to File: ), you will see at the end of the print job something like %%EOF [emailprotected] EOJ %-12345X The cause is HP's adding to the PPD an for BINPS LPR an unnecessary TBCP switch. Here's the fragment in the PPD: *% ================================= *% Emulations and Protocols *% ================================= *Protocols: PJL TBCP *JCLBegin: "" *JCLToPSInterpreter: "@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = POSTSCRIPT <0A>" *JCLEnd: "<1B>[emailprotected] EOJ <0A><1B>%-12345X" I changed the line above into *JCLEnd: "" and now I can create and print binary postscript in Windows 7 x64. Just change the ppd file and delete the bpd one. You might have to reinstall the driver. Verify the output by printing into a file. The print processor is not relevant. It works with WinPrint or hpcpp118 from the HP Universal Print Driver. Regarding PPD's: I tried the in "Windows 7 Prof x64" included HPMCD25.PPD, from the HP lj558.exe "Windows XP" driver the HPB45507.PPD and the "HP Universal Printing PS" hpcu11

Things to try first Checking for corrupt graphics About us PostScript error details (alphabetical by error name) HP Laserjet Error codes (30 PS ERROR nn) Introduction - what is an error? This is intended for people who have to try and deal with PostScript errors. You don't need to offending command know anything about PostScript, except that it is a language that gets sent to a printer. By 'errors' I mean specific errors detected by a PostScript printer, that make it stop printing. This won't help you if the results are complete, but not what you expect. Good information on errors is hard to come by. The information here may help. It is long and detailed, and best error undefined offending used as a reference. Still, be prepared for a long struggle. Sometimes a file simply cannot be printed on a particular printer, particularly if it is old or has limited memory. (The amount of memory supplied by default with many printers is not adequate for complex graphics or using many fonts). Some people will be dealing with PostScript files sent to them, that they must try to print; others will be generating the PostScript themselves. Not all of the advice in this document can be followed by both groups. Although I refer to 'printers' throughout, you might be using a printer, a printing or previewing package on a PC or workstation, or a high-end typesetter. This file is definitely not intended to help people writing their own PostScript. The discussion is confined to errors likely to be found when a program writes the PostScript on your behalf. If writing PostScript you will need a good manual, and lots of patience! A particularly unpleasant source of problems is bugs, either in the programs that write the PostScript, or in a few cases in the PostScript interpreter itself. As bugs can cause anything to happen, this document may n
