[mod.computers.laser-printers] Laserwriter/QMS800

stanonik@NPRDC.ARPA (Ron Stanonik) (03/05/86)

Will Transcript drive Laserwriters and QMS 800s?  In particular,
psif has wired into it notions about some control characters
(^D/eof, ^T/status) which are specified in the Laserwriter manual;
ie, not specified as part of PostScript.  Could some QMS 800 (beta?)
sites enlighten us regarding what software changes might be needed?

Thanks,

The QMS800 (and the original 1200) postscript printer supports the
same control characters as the laserwriter (not suprising, because the
implimentation came from Adobe). Transcript works fine.
