Thanks for the Cups suggestion. I've now spent a little time evaluating that pathway. It smells a little like bait and switch.
I have three printers - a 300 dpi HP LaserJet III, a 600 dpi HP LaserJet 4, and a 1200 dpi HP 8100 DN with duplexer. The later printer is used for data sheets, manuals, and catalogs, printed on 11 by 17 sheets. All printers accept PostScript. What I need to do is move PostScript files to them . . . period. What I don't need is something sitting between the document and the printer that limits resolution to 600 dpi. Of course I can pony up a few farthings and get support for 1200 dpi, but --- I originally managed to get lprng working under RH, so I think I'll spend some more time trying to get it working with Debian. Yes, the interface is nice, but in my case it's like using a flame thrower to make toast. -- Sincerely, David Smead http://www.amplepower.com.
