I recently purchased a VariTyper VT600 Plus Laser printer. This printer only knows PostScript. Some of the software that I have does not output PostScript. This software does output to an Epson FX-85. I have an Epson FX-85. I would like to sell the Epson FX-85 someday soon. I also have a program that will convert Epson to PostScript. This solves a few problems. Now for the real problem. Some of the software (like Print Shop) outputs directly to the printer. It does not allow the user to specify a file instead. Now for the question of the hour. Is there a program that will allow a user to redirect output from LTP1 to a file? The program MUST be memory resident, since I cannot call it from inside other programs. I do not care if it is Public Domain or Commerical since money is not an issue. (After all I spent $15,000 for the printer. [Actually I spent $29,000. I bought two of them and they gave me a discount.] ;-) It it is Public Domain, send it to me. Please do not tell me that it was posted x number of [days|weeks|months] ago. Since I am asking for it, I do not have it. I may have seen it, but I did not want it at the time, so I ignored it. If it is Commerical, send me the program name and the company that sells it. I am particularily interested in anyone's personal experiences with regards to this type of product. -- ____ _______ _____ _______ ------- Clancy Malloy / __ \ |__ __| / _ \ |__ __| -====------ Unix System Administrator | (__) | | | \ \ \_\ | | -======------ ...ihnp4!ihlpf!cem | __ | | | / \ __ | | --====------- IH 4A-245 x3946 | | | | | | | (\ / / | | ----------- AT&T Bell Labs |_| |_| |_| \_____/ |_| ------- Naperville, IL _P_o_s_t_ _S_c_r_i_p_t_ _(_P_S_)_: I am not looking for any comments about how I should have bought a printer that emulates other printers besides PostScript. This device is a 600 x 600 D.P.I. High Quality Laser Printer. And from the research that was done, there are no printers in this class that output PostScript AND emulate other printers. ---------------------------------------- Submissions to: desktop@plaid.sun.com Administrivia to: desktop-request@plaid.sun.com UUCP: {amdahl,decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4}!sun!plaid!desktop{-request} Archives can be gotten from the archive-server.

There is a public domain utility, LPTx, which is used to redirect the printer
output to a disk file.
LPTx can be obtained from:
Athena Systems Development Group
P.O. Box 26062
San Diego, Ca., 92126-0062
Support on the program is available via user support group through
PCBT terminal emulation at (619)549-3927. The cost of the program is $79.95
plus $5.00 handling.
I was also told that this program is available from M.I.T.
