If I recall,       both didn't insert the required comments (actually spooler commands)       into their Postscript output. Otherwise, it would make "printing" these       files really easy from real hardware or from GSport/GSplus.              In other news, the GS/OS LaserWriter driver is now fully supported, even       in its stock un-patched state. Getting that to work was a headache!       GhostPCL now also properly supports color output from DeskJet 550C       drivers as well.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
