[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Postscript printers

andrewsr@u2.rutgers.edu (Rich Andrews) (02/15/91)

I am considering getting a Postscript printer for my amiga.  The
models that I am considering are: the TI miscolaser, NEC silentwriter
2 model 90, QUME 410 or scriptTEN.  Suggestions? (Budget = ~$2000)

How well does some of the packages for the amiga (ProPage 2.0, ProDraw,
Pagestream 2.1) use these printers?  Could I buy PS fonts and download
them instead of buying extra hardware (how well does that work).

Could I get a parallel PS printer to work under A-Max?  I would be
interested in using FreeHand, PageMaker, etc.  What drivers would I
need.  How well does A-MaxII handle the parallel connection?

Thanks for any pointers.
