Printing Under Spectre 128 - - - - - - - - - I understand that Spectre 128 does NOT support Postscript. So how does one print out files and documents/graphics created using mac s/ware. How would such files be printed if one had the HP Laserjet IIP connected to the ST? Thanks Imran

Actually, if I remember a talk Dave Small gave at the World of Atari show here in California some months back, I do believe he said that Spectre does support Postscript. It just doesn't support a Postscript printer. I seem to recall (though my memory's a bit fuzzy) that he said you could redirect the Postscript output to a file, and then transfer the file to a computer that can do Postscript printing. >How would such files be printed if one had the HP Laserjet IIP connected to the >ST? Presumably, if my above statements are correct (and I remember what Dave Small said at the WOA) then I suppose you could take the Postscript file and move it to the ST and use Ultrascript to dump it out. John P.S. I'm sure if I've missed anything, that somebody (Dan Moore?) will correct me.

I wanna know how to do this too! I know that on real Macs can hold down a key combination (OPT-K?) to produce Postscript files but unless you can install a postscript driver in the first place then your sunk. I have never manged either on Spectre 128. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ !

Edinburgh, Scotland, UK "spam spaM spAM sPAM SPAM, lovely SPAM" This works for Spectre v1.9 and MS Word v3.01; I've never tried any other combination. Make a startup disk with System 3.2/Finder 5.3, LaserWriter and Laser Prep from the MS Word Program disk. DON'T put anything else on this disk. Use it to boot into Mac mode. Activate the Chooser DA and turn Appletalk on. Your machine is now hung. Or is it? Wait about 5 minutes or so. The machine WILL eventually come back, in good enough condition to close the Chooser and force an eject by repeatedly hitting <f1> and popping the disk in and out until the Finder is satisfied. Reboot with this same system disk. Appletalk is now on and you can successfully Choose and use the LaserWriter to do your Postscript dump. --------- Dave Douglass Computer Sciences Corporation Piscataway, NJ 08854 ...!rutgers.rutgers.edu!cscnj!daved
