When an error occurs, it is useful to know what is on that error undefined offending command stack xerox stack since it might give a programmer or support engineer an indication of what error: syntax error offending command: stack the interpreter was working on. That is why a PostScript error also contains a dump of the stack, as shown below:

ERROR: undefinedresult OFFENDING COMMAND: itransform STACK: 2380.1 3366.1 In the above case the stack contains two numbers but it could just as well be PostScript commands. A PostScript error with offending command stack does not

really exist. For some reason the offending command is 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 error rangecheck offending command image blank, the second has the following PS error: "ERROR: undefined OFFENDING COMMAND: STACK:" It 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.

a PostScript error Applies to : Illustrator InDesign PageMaker Photoshop PostScript printer drivers You can receive a PostScript error when sending a file to a PostScript interpreter (for example, https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-postscript-errors.html a printer, Acrobat Distiller). A PostScript error occurs when the PostScript interpreter http://fixyourownprinter.com/posts/73122 can't read the file's PostScript code. An error can also occur if the file's PostScript code exceeds one or more of the limits in the PostScript page description language. If your PostScript interpreter appears to process data but then stops, a PostScript error could have occurred.A PostScript error message includes offending command a PostScript error type, which defines the type of error it is. It also includes an offending command, which usually indicates the specific part of the PostScript code that the interpreter couldn't read. The offending command usually indicates the command that caused the problem. Some PostScript errors point you right to the cause of the problem, and some get you looking in the error undefined offending right direction.Example of a PostScript error:%%[Error: ; OffendingCommand: ]%%For example, the PostScript error %%[Error: dictfull; OffendingCommand: def ]%% contains the PostScript error type "dictfull" and the offending command "def." The error type indicates that the dictionary contains the maximum number of entries. The offending command is the last command the PostScript interpreter tried to process, "def," which defines a new word in the dictionary. View or print a PostScript error message If you think a PostScript error has occurred, but it doesn't appear onscreen or in your printout, you can sometimes view or print the error message. Do one or more of the following:Use an error handler utility. For example, Adobe PageMaker has the Include PostScript Error Handler option in the Print Options dialog box.In Windows, configure the printer to print the error message:Note: In Windows NT, you cannot configure a printer to print an error message. Choose one of the following: Start > Settings > Printers (Windows 2000)Start > Printers And Faxes (Windows XP)Start > Control Panel > Printers (Windows Vista, Windows 7) Right-click the printer you are using, and then choose Printer Properties.
a Windows XP 32 bit notebook.Problem is when I print, at the end of the job I always get a blank page followed by a Postscript error page as follows:ERROR: undefinedOFFENDING COMMAND:STACK:Using a PCL driver works fine, and the postscript driver error occurs regardless of what application I use, even when printing a windows test page directly from the printer properties page. I've tried re-installing both the universal and HP 4550 PS driver versions with the same result.Any thoughts?Thank you Respond to this 0 This happens when you print binary jobs.The same issue I have answered here:http://www.oasq.comEither 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�\%-12345XThe 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.

They actually all use the same MS Postscript5 driver.If you want the have a lean system, or your printer has no current Windows PS driver, but you have a printer device specific PPD, just create your own driver.
