Greetings to all,
I have a system which prints to .prn file.
Is there any utility in Linux which can read the contents of
the .prn file and output it to a human readable .txt format.
ANy pointers or suggestions are deeply appreciated.
Thx.
Richard.

prn-files are actually postscript files. So simply running them thru a
utility like "ps2ascii" should give you the text. Problems might arise
if the particular driver that generated the prn is not postscript
compliant.

.prn files are basically postscript files. Try using ghostview, or
any Linux tool that views postscript files. ps2asii for text, But Some
apps cud generate .prn files in a format different from postscript.
