Hello people,
A friend has a problem... he acquired a Jetpage International
postscript cartridge for his LaserJet IIP, but it came with software or
documentation to runon a PC (yetch!), not the Mac that he has.
We postulate that somewhere on the net, someone must have modified LaserPrep
to run standard Postscript printers. We have modified the Apple driver to
spit things out the serial port, so all we're concerned about now is the
Apple LaserWriter specific stuff in LaserPrep.
There appears to be some hex-encoded binary stuff that the Jetpage spews over
seeing. Any ideas as to what that is, or what may be wrong with it? Is the
Jetpage using a non-standard (or just slightly off) dialect of Postscript? Or
is just Apple getting us again? :-)
(As an aside, we have tried sending the modified (by AddLPrep utility) Apple
postscript dictionary down, but it also has these hex codes.)
Thanks in advance for any insights,
Paul
