We just got some POstScript code from somewhere that contains a `setrealdevice' operator. It's not in any manual I have, nor in any printer supplement. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks, ........ Henry UNIX -- the Winchester Mystery House of Operating Systems.

You can find it's definition by connecting serialy to the printer, running a communication program, and typeing in executive and hit return. You should see a prompt PS> AT this point, type in serverdict begin statusdict begin /serverdict load {== ==} forall BEFORE you hit return, make sure your ascii screen capture is turned on. after you hit return, the contents of serverdict will be dumped. repeat the same step for statusdict. Look through those, and you will find the setrealdevice operator and it's definition. This works for most printers. Cheers Woody
