- Until I get some kind of network link between a sysVr4 machine or
- a PC to the Ethertalk on a fiery controller of a Xerox color
- copier/printer, the only way to get postcript printed is to
- put a file on a 1.4M floppy PC disk which it will accept. The
- problem is that lots of things I'd like to print are larger than
- 1.4M. I sort of recall seeing some discussion of code that would
- compress postscript and include postscript code to do the expansion
- in the printer. Is this a possibility? Speed isn't an issue if
- it lets me print illustrations that otherwise couldn't be done at all.
