   Yes there are several drivers.  The best that I have seen is
   the commercial one called "Postdriver" from Soft Services
   which handles graphics, fonts, thumbnails choice of page numbering
   dithering modes, halftone screens etc.
       They can be be reached at VINSCI@SOFT.FI
       Address Email to Leonard Norrgard.

Does ANYONE know if there is a LaserWriter or postscript compatiable
printer driver for the Amiga?  I want to be able to save graphics,
files, etc to postscript and then upload to a LaserWriter.

The only other solution I can think of is to use a HP laserjet driver
and the convert the HPGL to Postscript, but I haven't had much success
doing that. In any case, I'd rather deal directly with PostScript.

I picked up a PostScript printer driver that works very well under 1.3,
printing on a NEC SilentWriter LC890 in PostScript mode.  I found it on
a bulletin board sometime within the last 6 months.  Now comes the hard
part -- which board was it?  I think I found it on the Hobbit Hole,
phone number (904) 243-6219, out of Fort Walton Beach, FL.  If you can't
find it there, email me and I'll see if I can figure out how to send it
to you.

Well, this is not much help, but there is a Postscript driver for
the Amiga which I used quite happily on an A3000 and a Fujitsu
PS printer...

I can't tell you where it is, so just keep on looking!
