All Macs support post script printing right out of the box.
The point is to share the printer. It's hooked up to a UNIX system. All the machines share it via the print spooler. The server uses GhostScript so every machine prints PostScript to it. So... in order for the Mac to use it, it must be able to print to a UNIX print spooler. Given how often Macs were used in UNIX shops, I figured there would be software out there to allow this. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
