Re: GS/OS Printing and Ghostscript




I'm assuming that you want Ghostscript for it's capability to download
arbitrary postscript to a printer and not for viewing it on the screen
which is the real benefit of Ghostscript.  If that's the case then there's
a utility called DLPS (it's only in Beta release) that's available by
anonymous ftp from ftp.cco.caltech.edu in /pub/apple2/util that is supposed
to download postscript from a GS to a LaserWriter (I haven't tried it myself because I don't have a LaserWriter).  It might do what you're looking for.
As far as  color goes, not even the LaserWriter drivers on the Mac handle
color because color is Postscript Level 2 and Apple doesn't support it yet,
if you buy a color postscript printer, the printer company has to
supply you with a driver.
