Many of you will already have noticed that Interleaf is not my
favorite program. It just dropped in my opinion. After numerous
phone calls and a wait of some months, I just succeeded in
purchasing the filters that I was told would let me drive my Imagen
printers, in Impress, from a Sun 4 - I already drive these printers
from Sun 3s, but we have succeeded in upgrading almost all our Sun 3
servers, and are having to drive the printers from more and more
out-of-the-way machines. As it turns out, they are filters
that would let me drive someone else's Imagen printers in Impress
from a Sun 4; along the way, nobody bother to mentioned to me that
they only work on printers that have just about all the bells and
whistles you can attach to an Imagen. Not only do they have to have
the Turbo option and the latest software, they also have to have the
optional font cache. Now, as it happens, on our printers you can only
get the Turbo option as part of the PostScript upgrade, so this only
would work on the printers I could already drive in PostScript from
the Sun 4s. Worse than that, we don't have the optional font cache on
any of our printers; it's an option, after all.

Nice of them not to tell me until after I paid them $1500...
