Description Adrian Johnson 2010-02-26 08:47:35 UTC 
The attached PDF file after conversion to PS using pdftops fails to print on a LaserJet 4050. The printer error message is:

ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: \

The problem is the use of the '\' character in PostScript names. The Type 3 font contains a definition for each ASCII character with the name '/x' where 'x' is the ASCII character. Printing fails to the '/\' name for the backslash character. The backslash should be escaped.
