We went through the same process with a 3700. As far as we could find out,
it's pretty well "roll your own" (we have since dumped the 3700 in
favour of a faster (cheaper) PostScript engine). Someone here said
something about Adobe Systems offering PostScript for the 2700 (saw it
at Comdex?). If this is the case, your problems may be solved.
