I use FOP-Light to send PS files to my Epson EPL-6000. It is a LaserJet II clone with a serial port. It works real well, and has a chooser level driver, but it is rather slow (even on a IIsi) and using a serial printer disables AppleTalk. >We are investigating this option where I work. I wouldn't bother trying FOP in a work environment. It is so slow that you will lose quite a bit of productivity. Considering the cost of lost productivity and the price of the software and parallel port board, especially with system 7 coming up (ie, you will probably have a small upgrade nightmare), you would be better off buying a postscript printer. -john- -- =============================================================================== John A.
