Dropoff•PS is a simple Drag and Drop application that sends raw PostScript to the Printer selected in the Chooser.
When you drop a TEXT file or a folder containing TEXT files on Dropoff•PS, each file will be sent to the printer selected in the Chooser *exactly* as it is stored in the file. There is absolutely no processing of the data in the input file. Therefore, the file must contain valid PostScript code (which usually starts with the comment line "%! "). Dropoff•PS will also print the PostScript files generated by the printer driver when you select PostScript File as your printing Destination.
When you drop things on Dropoff•PS, it will print each thing that it can and then quit. If you launch the application by double clicking on it, it will remain open. There is little you can do in the application, so this mode will not be very useful.
Thank you Jeff Mandel, for providing PAP.cp, and Amanda Walker, some of whose code is in PAP.cp.
If you like Dropoff•PS, let me know. I am pondering a slightly fancier version.
