I have aquired a postscript printer which I would like to connect to one of our NCR Towers, I'd like it to work for normal LP print requests but also to deal with the postscript requests. We also use things like PC-NFS printer sharing etc. I think I require a decent interface script or program , can anyone help either with such a script or some advice ??

I picked up a filter from the Net called psf. It has been working fine for me. It has a psdetect program which will determine if a file is PS or not, a PostScript filter to format text for PS (w/options like multiplex-printing), a *roff filter to make lp *roff output pretty, a mail filter to bold certain header fields (a little too much), and other nice things. The compressed tar is 27k in all. Check your local archive and, if you can't find it I'll mail it. -- -- Charles "Chip" Yamasaki chip@oshcomm.osha.gov
