- We are using the LaserROM software on an HP9000/847s, HP-UX 8.02. We have
- several PostScript LaserWriters that we print to over AppleTalk using
- the PacerPrint software from Pacer.
-
- According to the Response Center, LaserROM will only send output in PCL
- format (LaserJet et. al.) This means we cannot print formatted output from
- the LaserROM to our printers. We do not have a LaserJet available, and the
- LaserWriters are dedicated to PostScript and thus cannot be set to
- PCL mode.
-
- We are looking for a filter that will convert PCL formating to postscript, or
- even to "dumb" printer formatting (overstrike and backspace). If anyone
- knows of a solution, I would be most grateful to hear from you.
-
- Thx.
