Would > GhostScript help me out? If so, how? I've used GhostScript on an LN03S and was satisfied with the results. You'd need the GDEVLN03 driver module by Ulrich Mueller , which wasn't in the GhostScript kit that I found. I also hacked it to bite off a *much* larger raster buffer to get acceptable speed: the stock size is ridiculously small for 300dpi printers. I found a useful route to a LaserWriter before I could get around to making the driver produce a single output file instead of handing you each page separately, or folding it into a symbiont. GS is still v e r y slow on our (overloaded) 8800, and the font scaling code leaves huge jaggies on characters that have been scaled up a lot, but the results were quite readable and at the price I paid I couldn't complain! -- Mark H.
