- I have a ques.: I have an HP LaserJet Series II printer and postcript
- files created using latex. I need to get a driver for the printer.
- I heard there is this 'newsprint' program sold by SUN that acts as
- a driver for a number of printer types. By the way, I have a SUN Sparc
- IPX machine here.
- I was wondering if someone knew about some public domain software
- that handles the HP LaserJet Series II printer only or one that drives
- postcript printers in addition. If so, what is the FTP site? I might
- get another printer of a differnet type also.
- Also, do I need a card to interface the LaserJet II
- with Sun or would it suffice to directly connect the serial port of
- the LaserJet II to that of the SUN?
-
- Thanx for all help.
