A PostScript error "typecheck", offending command "status" can occur when printing from Acrobat Reader 3.01 or Exchange 3.01 to certain PostScript level 1 printers (e.g. NEC Silentwriter 2 model 90, Apple LaserWriter II NT, HP LaserJet IIP, HP LaserJet lll series).

The easiest work-around is to get hold of a copy of Reader 3.0 or Exchange 3.0 and print from those. These older versions do not cause this error to appear.

Another work-around is to try and print to a PostScript level 2 printer.

One last resort is to download the code below to the printer and then print your job:

serverdict begin 0 exitserver

mark

/status load type /operatortype ne

{ (3.01 Patch already loaded\n) }

{

{ (xxx) status }

stopped

{ $error /newerror false put

/+@status /status load def

/status { dup type /stringtype eq

{ pop false } { +@status } ifelse }

bind def

} if

(3.01 Patch loaded\n)} ifelse

print flush
