Does anyone know whether it's possible to build on the LaserWriter/ PostScript printer drivers? That is, can I write a printer driver that USES the existing LaserWriter/PostScript driver? Can my printer driver OPEN and use the existing one? I would like to add a couple features to the existing drivers, but I can't rewrite the whole thing. Some things I would like to add include: o Adding username/password support in the job dialog for accounting information. o Sending the PostScript output across a network to something other than a LaserWriter (i.e. maybe a Unix host via MacTCP, etc). It really seems like this might be possible, but I've never seen anything come out of Apple discussing it (yes, I've read Learning To Drive, but didn't see anything in there). Can anyone help on this (especially from Apple)? Thanks for any responses. I will, of course, summarize to the net. Atul Butte Brown University atul@brownvm.brown.edu ajb@cs.brown.edu
