Does anyone know the details of how to supplement the
postscript file made by Macintosh application programs
so that they can be printed independently of appletalk.
We run our laserwriter off of Unix using Adobe's Transcript
software (which runs very nicely by the way). My plan is
to macput the postscript file generated on the Mac down
to Unix, and spool it from there.
However, the postscript file produced by the applications
is not standalone, and requires that the laserwriter be
fed some definitions before hand. My understanding is that
these definitions are in the "Laserprep" resource file on
the Mac, but so far I have not made much sense of what I
can peek at in there.
Any help would be appreciated. In particular is it reasonable
to assume the added definitons are fixed, or is it possible
that they are application dependent (or worse yet document
dependent)?
