Does anyone have any information on Postscript drivers for the printer? In particular, the ability to make Postscript files, since my access to postscript printers is through this account. Also, does anyone have info on Postscript drivers for WordPerfect. Apologies if this has been asked a lot. Please E-mail any replies; I'm afraid I do not have time to read this newsgroup.

Professional Draw (Gold Disk) is a structured drawing program that produces PostScript. Don't know if it's shipping yet. Wordprocessors that produce PostScript include: Excellence (MSS), and ProWrite with ProScript (New Horizons). Desktop publishing programs that produce PostScript include: City Desk (??), Professional Page (Gold Disk), probably others as well.

I was just given a quem script 10 laser printer, acctually, I'll have it in a few days. anyway, what I would like to know, 1) it supports postscript, and will emulate a laserjet series 2 do I wan't to use it as postscript or not. 2) are there any drivers available for postscript? 3) the printer has a serial port, parallel port and a appletalk port (yuck) anyway, the printer will accept poscript though any port, but if you use the parralell port any status messages are sent back via the serial line, so will I be able to use the parrell port? or do I have to use the serial port to communicate with it properly? thanks....

This postscript driver that can be used like a normal workbench printer driver - does it support the QMS PS 810 properly? More, does anybody have a postscript driver for WordPerfect that supports the QMS PS 810? I got a ps driver from the local WP office, but that didn't work very well, all the extended characters like vd| don't work. It also seems do have its difficulties with tabs. They told me that a specific driver for the QMS PS 810 doesn't exist....is that true? -- ------------------------------------ Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ------------------------------------

They told me that a specific >driver for the QMS PS 810 doesn't exist....is that true? PostDriver works with any Adobe PostScript printer. However older postscript printers do not have all the ISOLatin-1 (the Amiga character set) characters and therefore cannot print these characters. There should be no need for a QMS PS 810 specific driver. Have you tried WP with other postscript printers? ------------- Robin Rosenberg
