I've also tried the ResEdit 'hacks' to the LaserWriter driver. Thanx, whoever it was who posted 'em again. I bought Freedom of Press (one of the wholly software Postscript interpreters) and with the hacked LW driver, I can eschew using their "spooler" program that normally would do the PS capture. This saves RAM as it's one less program running. Speaking of Freedom of Press ... has anyone out there used it? I have a DeskWriter with the full "laserwriter" set of fonts (more than FoP Lite comes with) and for normal text-based printing, the DW itself is fine. I bought FoP to try and handle the occasional Graphics hi-res printing chore and while it performs ok, it seems to have "complexity" (?) limits on what it (FoP) will/can handle. I.e., I seem to hit PS interpreter errors more often than seems warrented by the things I'm trying to print. I'm following the directions in their manual. Does anyone know, does FoP dislike Encapsulated Postscript for some reason? Should I give the FoP application as much memory as possible? Any advice or observations out there?
