Printing and Postscript HelpIf you need paper copies of our maps, use the Postscript files provided on our FTP site. There is a link to the Postscript file on every "Explanation of Analysis" page. The Postscript files are compressed using InfoZip, you can uncompress them using UnZip, Pkunzip, or a compatible software package. All of our Postscript files are in the Encapsulated Postscript format. If you have a UNIX machine you can print a Postscript file directly to a Postscript-capable printer with an lp or lpr command. If you do not have a Postscript-capable printer, or you want to be able to manipulate the Postscript file you will need to import it into another program. Most graphics software packages will import an Encapsulated Postscript file. If you're going to do much work with Postscript files consider using Ghostscript, a free Postscript viewer/interpreter. If you are having difficulty printing the Postscript file directly (your printer does not support Postscript or will print it only in black and white) you can use Ghostscript to convert a Postscript file into a PDF file, which you should be able to print on any printer. You can also use Arcview to view and print Postscript files by following these instructions:
