When I print some PDFs on my HP 4050 or 8000 printer, including some
PDFs that I created using Adobe Distiller 5.0 using the default "Print"
job option (Acrobat 4.0(PDF 1.3) Compatibility), I have the 79.00 FE
PRINTER ERROR. My systems support person says that this Compatibility
thing is eqivalent to PostScript Level.
And our HP 8000 and HP 4050 laser printers do not support PostScript 3;
they support only PostScript 2. Because I create the PDFs using 4.0
Compatibility (same as PostScript Level 4?), I am not going to be able
to print them on these printers. However, they can be printed on HP
4100, which supports PostScript 3 (even though not
Compatbility/PostScript 4). Now my Distiller 5.0 (presumably any
higher version too) does not support anything lower than Compatibility
3.0 - it cannot create a PDF of Compatibility 2.1 for example. Now, is
Adobe so stupid that it removes this PostScript 2 support from
Distiller such that the PDFs it creates cannot be printed on certain
printers? Any cure? Any comment?
I read http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/reference/errorcodes/hp but it
does not really help.
