- Hello,
-
- I have a SPARCstation 2, and I have an Apple LaserWriter Plus postscript
- printer.
-
- I would like to connect the printer as the <lp> device.
-
- We already have it connected using a homegrown device that converts simple
- text files to eps format. But this isn't any help in apps that want to
- access the printer directly. Escpecially Openwin apps.
-
- The Sun docs have almost no information on how to attach any printer, and
- I'm thinking that postscript is not an option at all.
-
- I would prefer answers by E-mail, as my news server is irregular at best.
-
- Thanks in advance...
