[comp.unix.questions] How do I make my laserprinter work?

connie@psych.Stanford.EDU (Constance Stillinger) (04/09/90)

Hello again.  I have a ds3100 running Ultrix and an HP LaserJet III
which I would like to use with it.  As usual, the DEC documentation
is cryptic except for pointing out that all of the "output filters"
supplied are for DEC printers only.

So, I have another several questions that I hope are not too hard.

	1.  What documentation will tell me about how to write the
	appropriate output filter?  (I don't have a complete set of
	manuals, it seems.)

	2.  What additional advice is relevant to this problem (making
	a 3d-party printer work)?

	3.  A PostScript cartridge will be available for this printer
	shortly.  How does one make a P.S. printer work?

Thanks again,

Connie
