Re: [sqr-users] Printing Verical Text in sqr using GhostScript notworking

["Ray Ontko" <rayo@ontko.com>]

When you run the sqr program, you'll need to include "-printer:ps" on the
command line if you want to generate Postscript output. Then, the output
file can be given to Ghostscript.

If you want to generate PCL output, be sure to use "-printer:hp" on the
command line.
