Where can I find a PostScript utility that prints the incoming?
I am trying to debug a system that sends PostScript from a Mac to
the LaserWriter without opportunity to see a Print dialogue box, and
therefore no way to cause it to generate a PostScript file on the
Mac.
There ought to be a way to install a text printing program into the
printer (permanent until the printer is reset) that will simply
print the incoming PostScript instead of executing it. I'm sure I've
seen such a utility somewhere, but can't find it now. Experiments so
far with text printing programs have failed because though they look
like they mean to stay resident they seem to time out quickly and
go away, or they require executing one word at the beginning of each
file to be listed, which I can't do.
I'm using a LaserWriter Plus upgraded with the new Roms.
