- I suppose this is a proper group for this :-) ...
-
- I want to print out a file containing raw PostScript code from
- a Macintosh connected to a PostScript laser. I don't know the
- system very well since I don't have a Mac at home, so perhaps
- someone out here could advise me how to access the printer
- directly? (The OS is an old System 6.xxx.)
-
- (I get soooo frustrated with these macs when I can't just do a
- `cat file.ps > /dev/lp1'...)
-
- In desperation, I tried simply to read the file into MacWrite
- and Print it, but of course this resulted in the actual PostScript
- code being printed out instead of the contents...
