[comp.os.os2.misc] Looking for PostScript Printer Driver

richk@pogo.WV.TEK.COM (Richard G. Knowles) (08/28/90)

Is there a Postscript printer driver available for
OS/2 (1.1, 1.2 [IBM, MS], [2.0?]) somewhere?.

Neither IBM nor MicroSoft has been much help so far.

  With my IBM OS/2 EE copy there was a Postscript driver included. 
  You have to install it separately from the printer diskettes and it's
  labelled 4216 as I recall. (4216 is the number of one of the IBM Postscript
  printers).

I'd say we (IBM & MS) have been absolutely clear that PostScript
printers have been supported with PM Printer drivers in all
shipped versions of OS/2 1.2 - In fact we made a big deal of
the fact that the MS OS/2 1.21 PostScript printer driver was now
faster and included full support for downloadable Adobe fonts.

This is included with IBM OS/2 1.2, SE or EE.  For SE, it is file PSCRIPT.DRV
on "device drivers diskette 2".
