ps.map problems

[N R A]

Teresa,

I've been trying out ps.map and am now getting some nice output (thanks 
to Malcolm D. Williamson for pointing out the updated source code at 
'moon' and Anne Gisiger for doing the update).

I wonder if your problem is something to do with the Laserjet IIISi not 
having 'autosense'. By that I mean it does not automatically switch into 
Postscript mode. I am using a Laserjet IV which thankfully does. 

I have created a 'laser4' file in the /etc/paint/ps.devices. Then 
whenever I create a file using the 'ps.map in=... out=...' format, I 
simply switch to another window and 'lp <file_name>' to the Laserjet IV. 
I must admit I've not used the 'ps.driver' command. Don't seem to need it 
thankfully.

I'm not to sure how you get the Laserjet IIISi to switch remotely, but I 
know it can be done. You could of course manually switch it into 
Postscript mode, but other users might not be to happy  8-(

Lots of luck,
