Hi! I am trying to modify the printing process on our Mac so that I can insert a password into files which are sent to the Laser-writer via the Vax. Then, the password can be used for accounting purposes when the file is laser-printed. The problem is figuring out how to insert some code into the laser-writer driver. Alternate schemes are to write a new driver which calls the normal driver, or to write a spooler which grabs the output and prepends the password. While I do have Inside Macintosh and Inside the Laserwriter, I still haven't figured out exactly how to do any of the above. One thing that might help would be a sample driver that someone else had written (preferably in C or Pascal) -- a vanilla driver. Or an example of how to catch laser-writer output (as a spooler would). Or even some hints and advice about where to look. Many thanks, -- Russell Wilcox rjw@wjh12.harvard.edu
