If were talking Postscript output devices, the answer is YES. Simply print
to disk, and then either
C:> copy FILE.ps prn:
or
C:> print FILE.ps
If the autoexec.bat file is correctly set up (which it should be if the
PCompatible is printing) you're in business.
Another word about Postscript: the files get VERY large. I had a
ProPage document that was 18 pages long, with 3-4 hires 4bitplane images
per page. The resulting file was over 15MEGS long, which will not fit on a
720k disk. However, using lharc, I was able to crunch the file down to only
670k, then quickly decompress it with LHA on the PC (which is freeware for
individual use).
If you are using an HP, you can print to disk with the (?) CMD program,
but I've found that copying the resulting print file to a printer is a hit
or miss affair.
