Recently many people asked how to print Mac files on a Laserwriter connected to a Unix computer. This article explains how to set up your Unix system so Postscript files created on your Mac by means of clover-k (or clover-f) and sent to the Unix system (e.g. by means of kermit) can be printed. clover-f: create a postscript file without dictionary header. clover-k: create a postscript file with dictionary header. If you have a correctly installed Postscript printer on your Unix system, you can add the following 2 lines to a file created with clover-k: %! serverdict begin 0 exitserver and the file can be printed. You can print files created by clover-f by adding these two lines and the dictionary header (cut from a file created with clover-k) on your Unix system. This saves transmission time (about 30k smaller files). An article in Comp.sys.sun will describe how to setup your unix system when no Laserwriter is connected yet.
