I have a need to print files containing text and graphics on a laser printer. The files are in postscript format. Are there any postscript printers interfaced to UNIX mainframes at Bell Labs Holmdel? Also are there programs to convert postscript files to files that can be dumped to an Imagen or HP Laser printer. Any comments would be appreciated. R. (Bob) J.

Adobe makes a product called transcript that provides postscript features to UNIX machines. They make regular printer emulation and c/a/t->ps and ditroff->ps filters. This is what we use. Note that only the latest Imagen printers do Postscript and none of the HP Laserjets do unless you buy someone elses postscript processor that mounts on the Laserjet (Laser Connection?). -Ron
