We have an unused Tektronix 4693DX color printer sitting around, which I would like to use on our iris 4D. If anyone can help me, I would like a driver for this printer. Or do I need a board? Thank you in advance, John Baker jbaker@gmuvax2.gmu.edu

We have a Tektronix 4693D color printer. We bought parallel boards for our IRIS's so we could use the printer on them. PI's come with parallel interfaces. On ftp.brl.mil, I posted a utility I use to change ARCGraph ".ras" raster meta-files to Tektronix 4693D, Black & White and gray scale Postscript. The file is call change, I think (it has been a while since I posted it), and I think it is a compressed tar file. Brent L.

If u have a PI all that u need is Parallel Cabel to connect it and add a printer thru the System Admin tools. -suresh suresh@sgi.com

I have a program called sgi2tek which is a hack of ipaste, makedisp , and Brent's change program. It will take an image produced from 'icut' and create a TEK4693D output file ( very large ). Please mail me a message if you are interested. It is a real hack and still contains alot of the display code from ipaste and makedisp which is not needed, but it does work. You need /usr/people/4Dgifts/iristools/... libraries. If there is enough interest I can post it to the net. -- ---- Mike ( ~~ Radiosity is more than just heat! ) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael K.
