[comp.windows.ms] POSTCRIPT FILE GENERATOR

jcuesta@bosco.dit.upm.es (04/02/91)

	Does anybody  know a program that generates a POSTCRIPT file
	from an editor (Write or another) instead of printing it?
	  I'm interested in this program because my PS printer is not
	  directly accesible to WINDOWS 3.0 (it connected to a remote
	  UNIX system).
	  
	  Thanks in advance

Windows 3.0 lets you set up a postscript printer attached to device
"FILE:"...this will accomplish exactly what you want, and will apply to
all Windows 3.0 applications: Write, Word, ...

Install a postscript printer driver using Control Panel. Set
the postscript printer to print to port definition File: .
Mark the postscript printer as Acitve. Go into Write and
do a Printer Setup (under File) and select the Postscript
printer. When you tell it to print, a filename prompt will
appear, and the file saved will be in postscript.
