I resolved a postscript issue by applying two patches from the xerox.com site to my brand new xerox docucolor 242 with bustled EFI feiry X3eTY RIP (1 and 2)
Now I have a new problem specific to CorelDraw (both X3 and X4) printing to this RIP/printer.
Island said:If I print an 11 x 17 landscape and select the print/paper size as 11 x 17 landscape on the latest xerox/fiery postscript printer driver, the print now comes out portrait on the 11x17 sheet rotated 90 degrees and cut off.
It's an incorrect boundry box in the PS output from Draw. You can see it in Ghostscript on screen.
Known and reported.
I guess the solution is to process the file via Acrobat.
The issue doesn't happen with every RIP as they often ignore the boundary box.

Thanks Paul and Yani for confirming before I tore my hair out over this frustrating issue.
At least I am able to use the PPD to get CorelDraw X4 to not rotate the print incorrectly, so I can print to the new machine (since I have a 5 year lease on the new printer, and other than this it's really nice.) By using the PPD workaround for Draw I do lose the Fiery GUI and some features like image shift which are not available in the PPD apparently. I hope Corel can fix this in the next service pack or version at least.
Any ideas on how to best advocate for a fix to this issue?
