- I'm trying to print to a PostScript printer on my unix machine.
- My current configuration is to use MicroSofts PostScript driver
- save to file and then run NCSA lpr to my unix machine. This
- works ok, but I'm having trouble fine tuning.
-
- Questions:
- 1. How do I specify font substitution. That dialog under the
- setup - options doesn't seem to do anything. What I am trying
- to do is map like 'Bookman' on MS3.1 to 'ITC Bookman' on my
- unix box. Also, for ATM fonts that I don't have on my unix
- box, I'd like MS3.1 to download them as Adobe type 1 fonts.
-
- 2. Can I generate Adobe type 1 fonts from MS3.1 ATM fonts?
-
- 3. Is there source code for a PostScript printer driver around?
- I'd like to integrate this code with lpr so I don't have to
- save to file and then run lpr seperately.
-
- 4. Is there a way instead of the print manager to save to file
- to pipe thru a program?
-
- 5. Is there a TSR out there that will remap a port (i.e. LPT2)
- to pipe output through a program?
-
- 6. Why can't I print landscape mode in excell. It comes out
- portrait no matter what.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Eric.
