>Could someone briefly summarize exactly what the protocol is between >a MAC and a DeskWriter. [more questions omitted] The Mac and DeskWriter communicate at 57.6 Kbaud and use a special compression mode to make sure that the printer isn't I/O bound. The DeskWriter is not a general PCL device and doesn't implement the full PCL command set. On Mac II type machines, the printer is primarily mechanism limited and on Mac+/SE type machines the printer is usually CPU bound. Steven Miller Vancouver Division Hewlett Packard
