- I use ProPage with a Postscript printer all the time. If your printer
- is Postscript, you just have the software send the Postscript file to
- the port the printer is connected to (either SER: or PAR:). You do not
- use a print driver. You can also save the Postscript output to a file
- and then just copy it to SER: or PAR: (not PRT: which sends it through
- the print driver).

- Hope this helps.
