About eighteen months ago Adobe sponsored several "Technology Conferences" in which they announced the new PS Level 2 capabilities and compatible products. Sounded great! I even bought several new Level 2 compatible printers. However the printers are still being fed Level 1 "code" from the Apple/Adobe LaserWriter drivers provided in System 7 (incl. Tune-Up). Does anyone have a clue to the situation with updated drivers? Or was I asleep as the train passed through the station? Brooks Peters David Taylor Model Basin, CDNSWC peters@oasys.dt.navy.mil

Adobe is nearing completion of its Printer Driver for the Macintosh. I've
been using a pre-release copy, and it works wonderfully! It functions
as a replacement for Apple's LaserWriter driver. Look for it in
third quarter of 1992.

Unless, of course, you are dealing with a retailer, which means you will see it in the second quarter. Hardware, on the other hand, is slightly different. When they say something will be shipped on a certain day, that means they will put a label on it and call their shipping department to pick it up. Allow another few weeks for it to get to the shipping dock, followed by a few weeks for the shipper to pick it up, followed by .... You get the picture. Besides, he said you should *look* for it, not that you could see it :^) (Sorry, I guess it is too early for me to be reading news today :^) ============================================================================ Bill Pringle Software Tools Paramax Corporation Voice: (215)443-7500 X4023 Internet: wrp@ivy.unisys.com UUCP: ...!uunet!mimsy!widener!gvls1!wrp%ivy
