If the first line of your Postscript file begins with "%!", then you can just use lpr to send it to the NeXT printer - e. g., "lpr -Pnp <file>". I've printed a wide variety of Postscript on my "np" from PC CAD packages, pic, etc. and they look fine. The only problem I've had so far is printing Writenow Postscript on a remote Apple Laserwriter, because the Writenow Postscript uses a macro that is commented out in the preamble. A simple sed filter fixed that. >From: johnl@ima.ima.isc.com (John R. Levine)
