Dear listeners I'd like to thank the 2 people who were so kind to answer my question regarding writing directly to a Mac-Disk on a GS.

Lines: 43 Dear listeners I'd like to thank the 2 people who were so kind to answer my question regarding writing directly to a Mac-Disk on a GS. As I could read also from other discussions here, there's no Mac FST coming yet. It would have been so nice. Here I have another question to the listeners: Using a GS + ParallelPro interface + NEC P6+ printer + GS/OS 5.0.4 + AppleWorks GS + many fonts (all legal!) I can produce nothing but the utmost horrible printouts. Printouts are ridiculously bad, too large (yes, vertical reduction is ON), with irregular lines in between; empty pages are added at the end. I also tried Harmony/Epson.LQ.Har for a minute but that is much much much worse. Any suggestions? The Nec is Epson 800/1000 compatible, 24 pin. Since one should try to do things in return I add 4 small, but rather useful macros I concocted (I'm not a programmer at all but you still might like them). start {:<awp><zoom : clear : right oa-left ba-{>! <ba-{>:<asr><read : insert : K = p
