[comp.lang.postscript] PostScript to LN03

IO81062@MAINE.BITNET (Kwok-hei Chan) (12/04/90)

I am surprised to the fact that there are so many TRs distributed in
PostScript format. Also it seems to be a good strategy to edit
graphics in Mac, then convert it into PostScript and attach it in a
LaTeX document. It is too bad we don't have a PostScript printer.
 
But we do have a LN03+. Is there any program to convert PostScript
into LN03 format? If not, why?

Digital sells a piece of software called DECprint Utility for PostScript 
to Sixel Printing for VMS.  It allows printing of PostScript files on 
Digital Equipment Corporation's desktop graphics sixel printers.  Color 
PostScript files can be printed in color on the LJ250 Companion Color 
Printer or with a color ribbon installed on the LA324 MultiPrinter.  
Color files will print in gray shades on black/white printers. 
  
The software uses a host-based PostScript interpreter to print  
PostScript files to Digital's sixel graphics desktop printers.  The  
printer may be attached to a video terminal printer port or the output  
file can be directed to a shared printer print queue. 

The following printers are supported: 
  
    o LJ250 Companion Color Printer 
    o LA75 Companion Printer 
    o LA324 MultiPrinter 
    o LA210 Letterprinter 
    o LN03 Plus Desktop Laser Printer
