[comp.lang.postscript] Sending 8-bit data to an AppleLaserWriter

rhl@grendel.Princeton.EDU (Robert Lupton (the Good)) (04/06/91)

I have some images that I want to send to a laserwriter, and I'd like
to use readstring rather than readhexstring (a factor of two in file
size is significant). 

I can write the file easily enough, and sure enough ghostscript plots 
it for me, but when I send it to the laser writer (hung off a sun on
an rs232 line) I get "undefined" errors. The problem seems to be ^D's
in my data stream, and ^S/^Q is also a problem.

Anyway, have any of you solved this problem? Answers by email please,
and I'll post a summary.
