[comp.periphs.printers] Ps2PCL

Is there a possibility to use a HP LaserJetIII as a postscript printer
attached to a SUN3  without
the HP postscript cartridge. Perhaps a filter from PS to PCL.
Is it necessary to use the postscript cartridge. If it is necessary, who
has experience with HP postscript
cartridge and tps4.0 . We've already tested Pacific Page cartridge,
which does not work with tps.

	Try using ghostscript 2.1.1.  This will let you view postscript files
	and print them to a pcl printer.  I think that you can get it from
	uunet.uu.net, but I'm not sure.  

	Anyway, why bother doing this if tps can output in pcl?  You can set
	up a pcl printer on your sun and tps should be able to be set up to
	use it.  Ask Interleaf support about options for a pcl printer.
