#PageSetter & LaserJet
5 messages in this thread
Implementing POST Script in the AMIGA would be great for the people that have
LASER printers that do not support PDLs. (Like me). The only problem is, if
they use preferences to do the actuall output they will still be slow……
Chris:
PostScript is in and of itself -VERY- slow, ask anybody who has
waited over an houh to get a heavily graphics orientated page out of
their Apple LaserWriter!
PastScript will only assist (non-PDL) laser printers that have
enough memory (1.2 MEGS) to store the entire page bit map in the
printers own internal memory. If you don't have enough memory, you
won't get a page full of stuff.

I think I have 2 Megs (maybe only 1.5) but I can print a full page. I just
hope if some one goes through the trouble of developing Post Script for other
printer using the Amiga, that there is an alternative to the preferences
printer definitions. Like an interface for developers to write device specific
drivers. Unfortuatly, most of the printer supported by preferences are in
complete and slow.
