A colleague on campus has a Mac II connected via a serial line to a VAX, which is in turn connected via a serial line to a LaserWriter. He says that the PostScript files that are created using the Command-F method don't work. He uploads them to the VAX and then has the VAX send the file to the printer ... but the Mac apparently puts extra info into the PostScript file that the VAX doesn't like. That's about as complete an understanding as I have ... Can anyone help me sort this out? Can he print Mac-created files on his LaserWriter without buying additional hardware?
