[comp.sys.mac.apps] Postscript output from the Maci

gillies@m.cs.uiuc.edu (06/07/90)

There are several ways to make postscript work on a non-apple printer
--

1.  use programs like "macps" or "macvert", which prepend an
    appropriate header to your postscript file.

2.  read the files in 

    [sumex-aim.stanford.edu]<info-mac>tips>generating-postscript.txt
					   imagen-postscript.txt

    	 		    <info-mac>misc>laserprep-65-postscript.txt
					   mac-to-vms-postscript-prep.txt


    Although it doesn't say so, the file "imagen-postscript.txt" tells
    you how to modify a copy of apple's laserprep, to work with most
    postscript printers (not just imagen).  This is handy if you want to
    "roll your own" printing software.

If you'd just look at these files, you'd find the answer.  You can
hold down the f key before you even click on the "ok" box (you needn't
hold down the command key).  This will ensure that the laserwriter
driver hears your keypress.
