[comp.sys.apple] REDIRECTION

philip.mcdunnough@canremote.uucp (PHILIP MCDUNNOUGH) (02/24/90)

Does anyone know of a method of redirecting printer output. The problem
is as follows: Some programs assume you have an ImageWriter or LW
attached to the printer port of the GS. I have a GS(ROM03) on an
AppleTalk network with access to a LW(NT). The LW(NT) can emulate an
ImageWriter there doesn't seem to be a way of redirecting output to
it(or a file for further redirection) for those programs that do not
support the Chooser method of selecting a printer.
 
While I'm at it, there have been so many rumours concerning the demise
of the Apple//(whether that includes the GS eludes me) on this newsgroup 
that it is really reaching an unbearable limit. The most recent quote
MacWeek(which seems to be sending conflicting signals with each issue).
Perhaps a more objective source would be InfoWorld's recent article
which included an interview with John Sculley(Febuary 5).It is stated
there that Apple has no intention of dropping the Apple//. Now I believe
that Mr. Sculley is an honorable man. What does it take for these
rumours to cease?
