# fixnt(1)

Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver.

## NAME

fixnt - Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver.

## SYNOPSIS

**fixnt** \<  *BADFILE.ps* \>   *GOODFILE.ps*

## DESCRIPTION

The Windows NT postscript driver has a tendency to make broken postscript files, that are incompatible with psutils.   **fixnt** is a filter that fixes these problems, allowing the use of [**psnup**(1)](/psnup/1.md).

The filter takes the broken postscript file on  **stdin**, and outputs a fixed postscript file on  **stdout**. It has no other form for invocation and takes no options on the command-line.

## OPTIONS

- **fixnt**

  takes no options.

## BUGS

**fixnt** does not check for NTPSOct94.  For a workaround, use a [**sed**(1)](/sed/1.md) command to replace 'NTPSOct94' with 'NTPSOct95', like so:

sed 's/NTPSOct94/NTPSOct95/g'

This is particularly important for Windows NT 3.5 users.

## REPORTING BUGS

Report bugs to the Authors, but avoid sending large postscript files.

Patches are always welcome; send to \<bauer@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de\>.
