I don't have EasyDraw and one of the things that stops me is the price of a nice printer. So here is what I want to do: (1) create documents or pictures on my 520st (2) store them in a postscript (or Talaris) compatable form in a file (3) upload them via kermit to my local mainframe (4) spool them out on the laser printer there. This would seem to be a great solution as it lets me use the convenience of my 520 with the great output quality of the multithousand dollar printers that I have at work. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions on this "wishlist"? If there is any interest I'll summarise responses to the net. thanks a lot, Peter LOrraine ps: By the way, I remember Spacewar fondly and would be very interested in obtaining a copy from the earlier posting.
