THIS POSTING IS A EDITED VERSION OF YESTERDAY'S POSTING I am currently working on a project which requires that I can print a complex form (perhaps scanned from an original printed copy) in short order (<30 sec). No PS engine I can find is capable of handling this task. Our current DP LZ1260 certainly cannot. Therefore, I have begun persuing other alternatives. The nost attractive one at the moment involves sending the form to the printer and imaging it in the engine to just prior to the print step. At this point the bit map image would be written to the disk and saved until a job requiring this form was required. Then the form would be loaded into printer memory, from the locally attached disk, and have the form's variable (i.e., field information) overlayed, and the result printed. I understand that PS2 is supposed to have such a feature, but even if it would work for my application, I cannot wait. Is there any reasonably straightforward way to accomplish the same effect on a current PS printer (e.g., DP or LW IINTX) using its private disk option?
