- Well, from the "Customize" > "Defaults" editor, you can setup to
- pretty print to just about anything. I use this to print to laserjet
- II emulation (in the Pretty Print field):
-
- troff Thplj|hplj|qprt dp P<pcl4queue>
-
- For a postscript queue, this should be something like:
-
- troff Tpsc|psc|qprt dp P<psqueue>
-
- and I use "<psqueue>" in the Artwork Printer field, a queue which has
- a backend that runs 'ghostscript' to convert the postscript art to
- hplj, then dumps to the hplj queue (since we don't have a postscript
- printer, which is 'required' for artwork prints).
-
- You may have to set the "Customize" > "Preferences" editor to do
- pretty prints by default.

- Actually, you can make it so that you don't need the K cartridge. Just
- run the "no_cart" shell script in "/usr/lib/font/devhplj". Printing
- via the 'hplj' filter is a bit slow, as it has to read, load, and send
- zillions of font bitmaps, but it works very well...
