From: rick@ut-ngp.ARPA (Rick Watson) Does anyone know if you can replace printer page counting using PSM$REPLACE? Now for even more fun, how about posting a READ to the printer to get the page count it sends back. Btw, I am trying to drive a serial printer (Apple LaserWriter) over a serial line. If anyone's interested, I have gotten as far as suppressing all form-feeds sent to the printer. Also I am working on a library of /form/setup PostScript routines to allow some normal kinds of printing, Zeta plot conversion, and other PostScript spooling to the LaserWriter.
