Postscript Printer Driver Dave Elbon University of Kentucky http://ukcc.uky.edu/ PostScript Printer Driver University of Kentucky Computing Center April 1998 This is an RSCS driver we used for many years to support Postscript printers. It is no longer used here, but may still be of interest to some. It was used in the following environment: o A PostScript printer. We use the Apple LaserWriter Plus and LaserWriter II NT. Most of our code was developed using the original Apple LaserWriters, and should still work with them. It should support other PostScript printers with async interfaces. o IBM 7171 or equivalent. The LaserWriter connects to a 7171 port that is set to terminal type TYPETERM and an appropriate parity and speed (up to 9600 for an LW, 19200 for an LW+). The LW will use XON/XOFF pacing with the 7171. Be sure to set the printer to match the parity and speed of the port. o RSCS version 1. o The Yale S1TRANS package of device drivers. This was available from the Yale (University) Computing Center (phone 203/436-7700, BITNET SOFTWARE@YALEVMX) for $50. o (Optional) The current Waterloo Script, which includes support for PostScript printers. Contact the University of Waterloo at 519/885-1211. Included here is: o PostScript printer driver, DMTALWE. This is combined with the Yale S1TRANS mods to create the RSCS device driver DMTALW. When this was last updated we were running VM/XA SP 2 and the CMS portion was running under CMS 5.5. Pre-XA versions were available on earlier Tools Tapes. We also had a group of Execs that would set the spooling options to pass information to the driver and then simply print a file.
