Re: Apple LaserWriter NT with apsfilter


Dear Help,

I have little doubt that with apsfilter, I'll be able to utilize my
PostScript Level 1 printer. I am aware that the file apsfilterrc must
have the GS_FEATURES environment set to '-dLanguageLevel=1' and the
serial port, i.e., /dev/ttyS0, must be used. I also use the following
setting which should be compatible with the apsfilter SETUP program: 


	Data Transfer Rate:	9600
	Parity Check		No
	Number of Data bits	8
	Stop bits		1
	Handshake		DTR (Hardware)
	Mode:			PostScipt Batch Mode.

I believe I am failing to print something because all the variable
aren't set to their proper values when I attempt to print.

The apsfilterrc file which has the GS_FEATURES variable set for Level 1
PostScript is associated with the name of a printer, e.g.,
Apple_LaserWriter.

Is there a way via command line I can specify the specific printer to
use and the specific port?

For example,
	lpr -PApple_LaserWriter /dev/ttys0 file.ps

Thanks,
Brian
