Help says to go to file then page setup but the page setup does not appear in the drop down list of file.

Got a direct reply.
Anyone aid in implementing it namely
"setup a filter "
The reply I got is as follows

"This is a much more difficult problem. The easy way: Use a Postscript printer.
What you got onto the paper was a raw Postscript datastream. The printer did NOT interpret it but printed it as raw ASCII (which is usually possible since but useless).
Netscape does not know about the AIX' propietary printing system. Like most X11 apps it simply creates a Postscript file in the print queue's directory,
which is then sent to the printer by the O/S. So the easy way is a printer that can and is setup for interpreting the Postscript
- or -
setup a filter program for converting Postscript into HP's page description language PCL5e or PCL6. I'm not familar with such a setup. Since I'm using
whole bunch of different UNIces I have a Postscript printer for many years now... "
