I am interested in driving a non-standard, "non-PostScript" output device from "QuickDraw" (I am aware that there will inevitably be limitations). Has anyone written a device driver to convert "QuickDraw" into an ASCII based printer command language (NOT PostScript)? If so are you willing to give me some idea of the way forward, hints and potential pitfalls of writing such a system. William Woody ( <5596@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu> ) mentions some articles in MacTutor "a few months ago" where can I get hold of this publication? In addition, has anyone got any information on which of the common Mac packages (especially DTP) will drive the new low-cost "QuickDraw" laserwriter? - either as they are or in some modified form - Will software houses bring out reduced price, reduced performance packages for the machine? Thanks in anticipation Peter Sutton ( pes@uk.ac.ucl.cs )
