Hello Answerguy!
|
|
</STRONG></P>
|
|
<P><STRONG>
|
|
I have been unable to print with Applixware 3.5. I am using RH6.0 and
|
|
my printer is an (old) NEC pinwriter. I use the Epson LQ850 driver with
|
|
Windows. Of course, it is not a Postscript printer. I checked all the
|
|
How-To but I am still clueless.
|
|
Could you please help?
|
|
</STRONG></P>
|
|

|
|
Thanks in advance. Philippe.

Install Ghostscript. This will implement PostScript on
|
|
your system, and it's drivers will convert that to
|
|
pin rasters that most printers can handle.

Once you have Postscript emulation working, you can
|
|
feed your Applixware output to it through the normal
|
|
lpr/lpd (BSDish) print filtering facilities (as listed
|
|
in your <TT>/etc/printcap</TT> file).
