>question--how do you send raw postscript from a gs?
You can enter "interactive" mode with any terminal modem and the serial port,
but it seems you want to do it via AppleTalk...in which case, take the IWEM
file from the //gs system disk, and edit it so that the procedure called _WBJ_
is an empty procedure. ie. delete everything between the baraces which
follow it. It is very early in the emulator. According to what I have read
in Don Lancaster's column in Computer Shopper, this should work.

Also, you can use the AppleTalk call PMSetPrinter to first get the status bits for your currently-selected printer and then turn off the "postscript printer" bit, so that RPM (Remote Print Manager) won't send the _WBJ_ command to activate the emulator each time you start a print job. This approach has the advantage that you don't even need to load IWEM, and you don't interfere with other users printing through the emulator. -- --Dave Lyons, Apple Computer, Inc. | DAL Systems AppleLink--Apple Edition: DAVE.LYONS | P.O.
