[comp.sys.next] using NeXT Printer!!

mefacb2@pyr.gatech.EDU (VIJAY TIPNIS) (01/09/90)

I know this question must have been asked a couple of times
but I don't generally read the newsgroups and hence this
question, e-mail will be fine do not post.

Scenario: I have a MacII and a NeXT connected thru ethernet.
One: Is it possible to print Mac documents on the NeXT printer, if
     possible how?
Two: Is it possible to generate pure PostScript files from the Mac
     applications like WordPerfect, Word4.0 and others. I know cmd-f
     generates PostScript files but all of them are Apple dependent.

Please e-mail.

I had posted a couple of days ago on how print to Mac documents on the 
NeXT printer, I got mail asking for a summary hence this repost.
Macps got from sumex.stanford.edu works well enough, I was able to
print WP, Word4.0, MacDraw, MacPaint documents without any problems
as yet.Follow the instructions given along with macps, and you should
pretty soon be able to print on NeXT printer.
Send me mail if you have any problems.
bye,
