- I tried chuck's printerdriver on my paintjet but it didn't work good. The only
- way I found so far is using a driver called "print-to-pict". This driver
- creates a pict or tiff file. I export this to the amiga side and print it from
- there. It's not handy but it works for illustrator and simpletext. It crashes
- with quark-express I don't know about other programs.
-
- You can find such pd-software on
- "www-personal.umich.edu/~sdamask/umich-mirrors". This is a list of mac-mirrors
- all over the world.
-
- I think the best way would be if someone wrote a mac printerdriver for
- shapeshifter that prints through prt: As somebody else mentioned allready.

- See you,
