#PrintScript
Here's a brief description of PrintScript. I hope it answers most of the
questions you have- any others can be posted here, or emailed to me. I'll
answer them as promptly as I can!
PrintScript allows you to print PostScript files on a non-PostScript laser, ink
jet, or dot-matrix printer. Using it you can get output from these that really
uses the full resolution of the printer, rather than a faithful rendition of
the cruder resolution of the screen. We support most printers through the
Preferences drivers, but have written specific drivers for the HP Laserjet and
Deskjet, since those drivers do form-feeds when we don't want them.
PrintScript implements most of the PostScript language. Future releases will
complete it. The most notable omissions now are "clippath" (which Pro Page
doesn't use), and the dashed line option in Pro Page.
PrintScript supports Professional Page, as well as other packages that produce
PostScript output. In addition, Postscript commands can be input directly.
It comes with two fonts- a Times-Roman-like one, and a Helvetica-like one. It
can also use PostScript fonts from other vendors- we use "Classic" from
LaserUp! in our March ads, for example. Metrics are not yet Adobe compatible.
