Has anybody had any experiences with UltraScript and DP-Tek's
LaserPort PS600 laser printer controller as a part of a peer
to peer network (such as Lantastic) ?
I am looking into possibility of sharing this combination among
several computers. For those who don't know what these products
are:
- UltraScript is a PostScript interpreter
- LaserPort PS600 is a controller which attaches to
your laser printer's video port (Laserjet II&III,
Canon LBP-4, Brother HL8 etc.) and allows you to
print at true 600DPI.
This combo requires one computer which has at least 8MB of memory.
The system operates approx. as follows: UltraScript captures the
output of program (Pagemager, Word etc.) and translates postscript
information in a huge 6MB bitmap, then US send this file to controller
and forward to printer.
I would like to know if this kind of system will work as a network
printer.
Thanks,
Markku
