[comp.lang.postscript] GoScript, PostScript on HP LaserJet

lipps@sbsvax.UUCP (Peter Lipps) (04/15/88)

Hello netlanders,

does anybody know the following program?

			GoScript

As far as I can tell from a short note in the german issue of PC-Week
-	it will take a program written in PostScript and translate (?) 
	it into HP-LaserJet bit map (or is it a full PostScript inter-
	preter producing these bit maps ...?)
-	it runs on IBM PC and compatibles

Does someone know more details about this program (manufacturer, price,
performance, ...) or similar ones (PD preferred), which will accomplish
the same task, i.e. print PostScript on HP-LaserJet (without hardware 
modification).

Thanks

You might look at the PS-Script product marketed by QMS.  It is a fairly
expensive plug-in board to a PC compatible that connects directly to an
unmodified HP Laserjet.  It provides true Adobe PostScript page output, as
well as HP Laserjet and other emulation modes together with a means to switch
between modes.
