- .TH MACPS 1 "19 Sept 1988"
- .UC 4
- .SH NAME
- macps \- print Macintosh-created PostScript file on Unix
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B macps
- [
- file
- ]
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .I Macps
- takes the command-line file (or the standard input if no filename is given),
- and prepends the appropriate Macintosh LaserPrep file (e.g., those generated
- by
- .IR prepfix (1)).
- The standard output can then be directed to a PostScript printer, via
- .IR lpr (1),
- for example.
- .PP
- The input PostScript file is generated on a Macintosh by typing (and holding)
- command-F immediately after clicking the OK button of the LaserWriter printer
- dialog box.
- Another dialog will appear, confirming that a file named ``PostScript'' is
- being created (the command-F keys can be released now).
- This file can then be uploaded via some file transfer program, such as
- MacTerminal/VersaTerm and
- .IR macget (1)
- or MacKermit/Red Ryder and
- .IR kermit (1).
- .SH FILES
- .TP "\w'lib/macps.config 'u"
- lib/macps.config
- Maps ProcSet ids to ProcSet filenames
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
- lpr(1), macget(1), kermit(1), prepfix(1)
- .SH BUGS
- .I Macps
- only works with version 4.0 and up of the Macintosh LaserPrep files, as
- well as Aldus PageMaker, Adobe Illustrator and FullWrite Professional
- LaserPrep files.
- Because of the way bit smoothing is implimented by the LaserWriter driver,
- many PostScript printers other than the Apple LaserWriters will not be able to
- bit smooth.
