- You might want to investigate SGI's IRIS Impressario product, it will
- perform PostScript and SGI Image rendering on the host and send
- compressed bitmaps to the printer, often yielding greatly increased
- performance for your complex print jobs. It's available from SGI
- Express 800-800-4SGI.

- If you're on a real budget crunch, try installing it using the "dumb"
- model file in the Print Manager. You'll only be able to print text,
- but it should work fine.
-
- If you have a PS cartridge, the "Generic PostScript" type will
- probably work.
