I have recently bought a MAC SE/30 for my home and have no printer. I
want to be able to print to things out on the HP Laserjet (series 1)
at work connected to a Novell DOS server. The way I see this
happening is to somehow configuring the programs I want to print with
to output HP Laserjet data/format/code [non-postscript] (I want to use
MS Word and PageMaker). Then print to a file instead of any printer
port or such. Later, download that file while I'm at work and simply
DOS copy it directly to the HP LaserJet (LPT1:).
The problems I have are:
1) I need print drivers for an HP LaserJet to work with my MAC
software.
2) I need a program or init or somthing to redirect output to the
printer port to a file instead.
3) Will this actually work?
- A side note: The MAC SE/30 I have was an upgrade kit so I don't
have the 1.4M supper drive. I have an 800k drive.
Is there *** ANY *** way to read IBM 720k or even
single sided DOS disks??? It would save me a lot
of 2400 baud down/uploading.
If you have any insights or have any cdevs or inits to help me, please
leave me a message!!! I'm sure others could make use of this same
such thing.

For printing to LaserJets or DeskJets, I use a package called "MacPrint" from a company named "Insight Development" or some such. I don't have information handy at the moment about where this company exists, but I can look it up if you like. Please email to: geske%hpisla@hplabs.hp.com Brent Geske
