Of course.
I may have created the file in a less then ideal way. The label is
generated by my tax application (Ultra Tax). Ultra Tax run under
Windows. I am running win98se. I for test image I had Ultra Tax print to
an apple laser writer. I set up the laser writer to write to a file.
This is how I have been capturing ps files from Ultra Tax. If there is
another way for me to capture the output that would be more helpful
please let me know.

Sadly Ultra Tax gives me no control over page size/orientation,etc which
is why the file is the wrong size.

For this test I used the apple writer drive. Under normal circumstances
would use the Dymo Labelwriter 330 driver which is the driver for this
printer in question.
