From my study, I believe that the "unique and tricky" part involves the use of the FRAMEDEVICE operator built into PostScript. One of the arguments to this operator is a proc which gets called by SHOWPAGE to transfer the document from VM to the Laser Imaging machinery. What I want is a LaserWriter IINTX and LaserTalk for my MAC SE, then I sure I'll figure out how to send the bits back. Once you get the bits, you can probably print on any 300 dpi printer if you used the right format. FYI: I've been working with Xerox LPS printers for 8 years. The company I work for prints some complex charts with them. Right now I'm building bridges between Macintosh and Xerox, so that What We See Is What We Get, no matter what printer. So, I must resolve PostScript, Macintosh and Xerox Fonts(Let's have lots of fun with Line Layout!). This is not an enviable task. Until I hit on the LaserWriter as a Print Server idea, my confidence in eventually perfect results was small for some of the more complex bit sampling operators, etc. I have no desire to write my own interpreter and then keeping up with Adobe. I wouldn't mind writing a driver, though. Knowing Xerox they will probably never admit that PostScript is better than Interpress (I don't use Interpress, but instead their "secret" metacode.) In fact, Xerox used some of our tapes to alpha test their newer printers! Xerox's printers are twice the speed of the Dec's Print Server 40! If anyone wants someone to put together a Mac-LaserWriter Print Server combination, please let me know. It can and will be done by someone. Again, please don't hesitate to contact me.
