Date: Sun 24-Nov-1989 17:13:27 From: Unknown Subject: Accessing the NeXT printer from a PC I'm thinking of purchasing Corel Draw to run under Windows on my '386 clone. This illustrator apparently achieves markedly better output with a true PostScript printer, which I don't presently have for my '386. Once again, I've begun to wonder whether I can make use of the NeXT printer for my PostScript output. I know it's a "dumb" device; does anyone know whether the cube can act as a non-dedicated print server for non-NeXT boxes? For both PostScript and non-PostScript output? What's entailed? How should I connect the systems? Can I put several boxes on one network--say, 2 NeXT cubes and 2 PCs? Does it matter whether I'm running DOS or OS/2? >From: phd_ivo@gsbacd.uchicago.edu
