[comp.sys.mac.system] freedom of press and nonpostscript printers

tuceryan@mohawk.cps.msu.edu (Mihran Tuceryan) (01/10/91)

I recently bought Freedom of Press Light in order to be able to print
postscript output on my non postscript editor. The setup I have is as
follows:

	Mac SE with 4M memory
	system 6.0.5
	HP DeskWriter printer

It turns out that in order to use the Freedom of Press with the
DeskWriter, I have to connect it to the modem port and turn appletalk
on. However, my modem port is already in use (with a modem) and I
would like to be able to use the printer on the printer port.

Most of the time I print non-postscript. I just want the ability to
print postscript occasionally.

Any suggestions on how to set up so that I can accomplish this without
too much pain (i.e. switching cables physically)?

Thanks in advance.
