TOPIC

    When you print from Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.01 or Acrobat Exchange 3.01 to a PostScript LanguageLevel 1 printer (e.g., NEC Silentwriter 2 model 90, Apple LaserWriter II NT), the PostScript error "typecheck; OffendingCommand: status" occurs.

DISCUSSION

    To resolve this issue, print from Acrobat Reader 3.0 or Acrobat Exchange 3.0.

    You can download Acrobat Reader 3.0 from:
    - http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/alternate.html
    - http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/alternate2.html

    or:

    Print to a PostScript LanguageLevel 2 printer (e.g., LaserWriter Pro 630).

    Additional Information
    Acrobat Reader 3.01 and Acrobat Exchange 3.01 use LanguageLevel 2 printing commands. Some of these commands are incompatible with LanguageLevel 1 printers, however, so a PostScript error occurs when printing. Acrobat Reader 3.0 and Acrobat Exchange 3.0 do not use LanguageLevel 2 commands.
