I think the Apple Laserwriter is just about as generic as you
can get.  Anyway judging from the .prs files of the various
postscript printers I have installed (Apple Laserwriter, QMS410,
NEC Silentwriter 890XL), I suspect that WP has standardized its
postscript driver.  I say that because all the .prs files are
about the same size (~67k) with the difference probably only
in the number of fonts available on each printer. (Note that I
am using the Nov 91 UK update).  Can anyone confirm this?

By the way, I do wish that WP would make their postscript
driver DSC compliant.

Cheers,

Edwin
