- Someone will correct me if I am wrong but, if you are strictly
- printing postscript files, you do not need any special drivers
- with a postscript capable lasers.
-
- I use ProPage with a TI microLaser. As long as I have a
- program that outputs postscript, I can use the laser. Now
- for HPGL simulation, you would need a driver, I think.
-
- As for model of lasers, if I were purchace one today, it
- would probably be an HP.
