- This is probably an FAQ, but....
-
- We are using software called PacerPrint to print PostScript files on
- non-Digital PostScript printers, including QMS, DataProducts and
- Linotron devices. Digital's ScriptPrinter software didn't work with
- non-Digital printers (well, it didn't when we tried it a few years ago).
-
- Our newest printer is a level 2 PostScript printer from DataProducts and
- we can't get anything out with PacerPrint. Our supplier of PacerPrint
- doesn't appear to be around any longer and the distributor we dealt with
- no longer handles the product.
-
- So, the questions are:
-
- 1) Does anyone know who, in the UK, has taken over distribution of PacerPrint?
- Does anyone know of a dealer?
-
- 2) Are there any other good PS symbionts for non-Digital PS printers? Digital's
- latest offering, which may or may not work with other printers, is #258 media
- plus around #700 licence, I believe!
-
- Any help greatly appreciated.
