- Yes, I meant LaserWriter IINTX, and no, we don't have a disk
- attached directly too it. Even worse, I'm trying to print my
- postscript files from a DOS box that is connected to the printer
- through a TOPS network. The printer serves the Mac network that
- the 'front office' uses, and we folks in the underfunded CAD dept.
- get the leftovers, basically. (Even though the CAD department
- produces billable work, and the front office is overhead ...)

- So, if there's a program that does the work on the host machine,
- and then sends the output to the printer, that's what I can use.
- Otherwise, it's pie in the sky, dream time stuff ... :)
