[comp.os.vms] DEC Scriptprinter queueing software

X979PK0P@VB.CC.CMU.EDU (Pete Kanaitis) (05/12/88)

DEC sells an 8 ppm Postscript printer, The LN03R - Scriptprinter.  

Included with this printer is the license for the Scriptprinter Host/Client
software for queueing files to the printer (A printer SYMBIONT, and device
setup library for managing fonts - used for PRINT/SETUP and PRINT/FORM...)
The media and documentation for the software are not included with the
purchase of the Scriptprinter.

What this software does is translate non-Postscript file to Postscript
so they can be printed on the Scriptprinter.  Regular Postscript files
can be printed with the $ PRINT/PARAM=(DATA=POSTSCRIPT) qualifiers.

My question is, if you purchase the license, media & doc for the
Scriptprinter software (the license can be purchased separately), will
the queueing software work with other non-DEC Postscript printers?

Does anyone have such a setup at their site?

Thanks in advance
