Keywords: unix, HP LaserJet Message-ID: <2076@daisy.UUCP> Date: 30 Nov 88 18:35:11 GMT Organization: Daisy Systems, Mt. View, CA Lines: 33 [ I read these on Nov 28 issue of Digital News ] QMS recently unveiled a PostScript Interpeter called UltraScript PC. It is a software interpretor that runs on a PC and output postscript to any non-postscript printers including the Epson LQ series, IBM Proprinter X24 and XL24 series, and other 24-pin dot-matrix printers that emulate them; HP's DeskJet and LaserJet Series I & II; and other true HP PCL compatible printers. Prices: $195 (25 typefaces), $495 (47 typefaces) This function is exactly what we need. We don't want to throw away all our existing raster printers. We can use them for proofing device. Virtually everyone can turn their existing printer to postscript compatible. The problem is that we are on unix! Could anyone on the net summarize what unix software (product or public domain) can be used to output postscript files to an non-postscript printer. Please don't start the discussion on host-based vs. on-board postscript again. I don't care how slow it would be. I am only interested in what is available. Thank you in advance. Please e-mail to me any info you have on this topic. If you have a summary, post it. -- .signature under construction ... {cbosgd,fortune,hplabs,seismo!ihnp4,ucbvax!hpda}!nsc!daisy!cplai C.P.
