Hi!
Do anyone know how to print out a raster file through ezprint?
For those text files, I use ezprint -t to convert them into
troff files and use ptroff to print them out through a PostScript
printer; it is a NeXT printer here.

Ez printing is set up for use with the adobe psdit package, which allows the embedded postscript generated by raster or zip to be passed through within the troff, a similar trick is probably possible with ptroff, but I am not familiar with the package. For dealing with straight raster files (those not embedded in text), you could use the convertraster program to translate them directly into postscript. Also, for text files, you can change the printcommand with the a *.printcommand preference that will allow you to specify how you need to print them, i.e. *.printcommand: ptroff ; rm -f /tmp/%s.n; rm -f /tmp/%s.n.dvi Tom N.

Can someone tell me if those programs are public domain, and if so where I canobtain it? Because our troff package just deletes embedded postscript ( it canhandle postscript include files) thanks P.
