PostScript >> IBM
Ray, thanks for your reply on how to get a PageStream document to the HP
laser II through the PC. You're almost dead on, on how I accomplished the
transfer.
I changed the PageStream printer driver to HPLaser.driver (driver
included in PageStream package). Then I set the printer requester in
PageStream so that the printer info will be sent to disk, as you have the
option of setting the path to either SER:, PAR: or Disk. Then I used
PCCopy, PCFormat, and PCPatch(for using the 720K 3 1/2" disks on the Amiga)
to transfer to the MS-DOS format. Then at work I just used the command
"copy filename LPT1: /b", and it worked beautifully!! I thought originally
that the HP laser II had the postscript feature, but I was wrong.
Thanks to everyone who replied here on how to do it. I just had to piece
everyone's info together.
P.S. Some of my documents that were sent to disk range from 500K to 1Meg in
size! I couldn't fit the ones over 720K to the disk. So what I tried today
was to ZIP the file, then unzip on the MS-DOS side. I can't believe the
size reduction. A 920K file ZIP'ed to 26K in size!! I'll find out tommorrow
when I UNZIP on the MS-DOS side to see if this will work. I hope so!!
