Until I get some kind of network link between a sysVr4 machine or
a PC to the Ethertalk on a fiery controller of a Xerox color
copier/printer, the only way to get postcript printed is to
put a file on a 1.4M floppy PC disk which it will accept.  The
problem is that lots of things I'd like to print are larger than
1.4M.  I sort of recall seeing some discussion of code that would
compress postscript and include postscript code to do the expansion
in the printer.  Is this a possibility?  Speed isn't an issue if
it lets me print illustrations that otherwise couldn't be done at all.
