- I think that what you should do is first print to a postscript file,
- then send the file to a Mac, and on the Mac, print it out with either
- SendPS (I think this only works on System <7), or the Desk Accessory
- PSPrinter (this does work with System 7). You can get these programs
- by anonymous ftp.
-
- PSPrinter is at mac.archive.umich.edu in
- /mac/system.extensions/da/psprinter.hqx
-
- and SendPS is also probably somewhere there. (or at sumex.stanford.edu)
-
- To convert a .hqx file for use on a Mac, you could use something like
- BinHex.
