Printing to old "Pin Printer"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:: -->
<P><STRONG>
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>
<P><STRONG>
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.

<BLOCKQUOTE>
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).
