Postscript printing and printing images

Hello All,
You will probably hear from me quite a bit today - I apologize for the
inconvenience. I am having problems printing images and getting the
postscript *.lis file to print the right place on a file.
Image printing.
I know there have been multiple e-mails regarding image printing, but I am
still having problems. I need to print to a file and then send the *.lis
file to a printer because this company will outsource the printing of their
invoices to a third party printer. I know that I can use a bitmap and send
it directly to my laserjet printer here using -PRINTER:WP. I also know that
because I am using DOS to send my file to the printer, that I cannot use a
bitmap file. I've had the bitmap converted to a *.gif file and an *.eps
file. Using both the LASERJET and POSTSCRIPT printer configurations, I
still receive either a grey box or a box with a line through it. I know
there are also HPGL-FILE and JPEG-FILE types to test. Am I just using the
wrong type of file? If yes, can anyone recommend some SHAREWARE that can
convert a *.bmp/*.gif/*.eps file to one of these formats. I've tried
downloading Adobe and several other shareware files, but their demo copies
do not let you save.
Postscript printing.
When I change my printer definition from LASERJET to POSTSCRIPT (this made
my French characters work thanks to a a POSTSCRI.STR file from Franck Masson
- they still don't work on the LASERJET definition, although I think I need
to use a symbol-set other than the default OU), I get a printed page that
cuts off the top of my invoice and essentially moves the entire page up
about half way. I assumed that I might have some problems with my page
size/orientation. Here are the paramenters I have:
type = POSTSCRIPT
left-margin=.25
top-margin=.25
font=3 ! Font number
font-style=fixed
lines-inch=7 ! Lines per inch
point-size=6
orientation=portrait ! portrait or landscape
#define PAGE_MAX_COLS 135
#define PAGE_MAX_LINES 79
page-size = 79 135
I tried commenting out the top-margin and the page-size to use the
defaults with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated. I am attaching the eps file, the gif file,
the bitmap file and the postscri.str file.
Thanks,
Debbie
