Is it possible to use an Apple LaserWriter Plus on 1109's and 1186's ?
We need to print both files and screendumps. If so, what are the
cabling
requirements? Thanks.

I received a beta release of a postscript driver for printing on an Apple LaserWriter Plus. I'm using it on an 1109 but assume that it will also be available on an 1186. It worked great but alittle slow (1200 baud). I haven't had time to experiment with different baud rates yet. I was told that this postscript driver would be released with the next version of user packages. Joyce Musselman joycem@kestrel.arpa

Does this package do that? Is this generally available yet? Thanks Brian Reiser

Yes you can save the postscript output to a file first - in fact, I had trouble sending it directly to the printer. As to whether this package is generally available yet, you'll have to ask Xerox. Good Luck, Joyce Musselman
