[comp.sources.wanted] LaserJet on Apollo's

wcwang@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu (Bill Wang) (07/21/87)

Does anyone have some info. about the HP LaserJet support under the Apollo's?
For support, I mean that the spooler (both for text and bitmap graphics).
How about troff support, is the version of the troff-jet filter on the usenet
a long time ago ok for Apollo's?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know for sure if it's ported to the Apollo (though
I'd be very surprised if it wasn't), but Brent Byer of
TextWare International in Cambridge, MA has a product called
Tplus that converts otroff and ditroff for the LaserJet.

We used it and liked it.  Call Brent at (617) UNI-TEXT for
details.
