[comp.sys.hp] printing postscript files on HP LaserJet II

renga@perpetua.cs.uoregon.edu (Renganathan Sundararajan) (01/11/91)

  Excuse me if this a frequently asked question.

  Are there public domain postscript drivers for 
  HP LaserJet II?

  I've heard that LJ-IIs have been used with Macs and
  postscript drivers for them must exist; they may not be
  free, of course.

  If there are no PD drivers, does any one know of 
  inexpensive ones?

  We are thinking of using Framemaker. Since Framemaker
  produces postscript files, we would like to print them
  on our LJ II printers.

  I appreciate any help/pointers.

	LJIIs do not support postscript in any way as they stand.
	You will have to convert the files to PCL then print them,
	or buy a PostScript cartridge.  There are several about.
	You just put the cartridge in a fony slot, modify the software
	as it says in the manual, turn the printer on, and you should
	have a postscript printer.  Beware how ever that some cartridges
	will not be switchable between PCL and PS, in software.
