Hi:   

I am very happy with the HP Deskwriter / Macintosh connection, but it
sure would be nice to be able to print postscript graphics also. Even at
the expense of some Mac CPU time.

Does anyone know if there is a way to output postscript
graphics from Pagemaker, Adobe Illustrator, etc. to the Deskwriter?
It seems it would be possible if the postscript could be converted to
bitmap images on the Mac before being dumped to the Deskwriter.  

I have heard some mention of a program called Mac RIP ??? that
supposedly does just that, but I don't have any information on that.
Has anyone tried this combination and/or others???

Any input would be appreciated.

THANKS!

Mark Ellison
