Laser printers with resident PostScript are expensive. A cheaper version is the one sold by Printer Shop for $995, but strictly speaking it is a Canon LBP-CX printer with a QMS JetScript Controller. In other words, it seems that it is really a non-PostScript printer to which a PostScript interpreter has been added. The same vendor also sells JetScript controllers for other printers. But if it is ok to take a non-PostScript laser printer and add PostScript in this way, is it ok instead to add PostScript by having a program on my PC that converts PostScript to the language that the printer does understand ? In that case, one could try to find public domain programs that do this. Is there any reason not to do it this way ? Is there such a program for the Okidata Laser 400 or for the Toshiba PageLaser6 ? These are the cheapest laser printers I know of. I should mention that my primary application for this is printing out documents typeset with TeX. Allan Adler ghot@ms.uky.edu
