PostScript header information. General solutions Some offending commands indicate a possible error undefined offending command stack xerox problem with the driver settings or printer support files. Updating drivers or switching to an alternative offending command g2ubegin driver might solve the problem. You can also try to copy and paste all elements to a new file. If the document was converted from a previous

version of an application, try printing again from that version. A strange word as an offending command: Sometimes a RIP generates an ‘undefined' PostScript error, with an offending command ‘bspt' or another randomly chosen kind of technical term like ‘fob' of ‘xtrfx'. Such errors indicate that the RIP tries to execute a command that

has not been defined in the PostScript file. In a lot of cases, PostScript error "undefined" issues are caused by incorrect drivers: PostScript drivers that are corrupted or that are vendor-specific (eg you try printing to a Tectronix printer using an HP driver) PPDs that are too old or too new. PPDs that should be used for another device. Some applications that put themselves in-between your application and the RIP can also cause this kind of a problem: try printing without passing through a spooler or OPI-system. Use another imposition software or try to avoid using your trapping software. Sometimes the name of the offending command indicates which application is causing the problem. I remember a customer who by accident had deleted a number of PostScript files from his Preps folder. Subsequently Preps kept generating ‘undefined' errors because its printfiles lacked the necessary code. We found this rather quick because the offending command started with ‘SS' or so, something that
when creating PDF files. Solutions Distiller 8 or 9, part of Adobe Acrobat Pro, can generate this error when it tries to generate a PDF from a document that contains non-system error undefined offending command new fonts. Right-click Adobe PDF in the printer list, choose Properties > General

Quite a few people ran into problems with the imageDistiller offending command using older versions of Acrobat, such as Acrobat 6. Adobe seem to have fixed this in later revisions https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/undefined of the software. Try an alternative way of generating a PDF if this error occurs in Distiller. I am no big fan of the PDFwriter application but using it might help. Many applications also offer direct support for exporting to PDF. 9 August 2013 2 Comments » 2 responses to "Offending command: imageDistiller" Icecarim says: February 26, 2013 at 8:17 am Thanks https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/imagedistiller for this..

of these temporary values on top of each other, a bit like the pile of paperwork you might have on your desk. When an error occurs, it is useful to know what is on that stack since it might give https://www.prepressure.com/postscript/troubleshooting/errors/stack a programmer or support engineer an indication of what 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 offending command 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 error undefined offending 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" hpcu118s.p
