Please excuse me if this is a silly question but I just put my first
postscript printer into service and have a lot to learn.

Is there some program ( or method ) that will allow my printer to
accept text from non-PS compatible programs ( like dBase ), or the
output of a screen-dump? I would think some sort of TSR printer
driver would do it.

I can switch the printer to 'emulate LJII' mode, but that feels like
switching a Porche to 'emulate Volkswagen Bug' mode.

Thanks,

John
