Re: printing problem

Aditya—

I am using character protrusion.

So far as printing goes, TexShop still prints long files with  
protrusion turned on and still fails with the question file when I  
turn it off.

But, as for not being able to open the file, I will check to see what  
the recipient is using to read it. That is a good tip. Many thanks.

Alan
