A neighbor of mine just got a QMS P800 laser printer for use with
his IBM PC. I have a Masscomp Unix system and would like to
hook-up the QMS.
Unfortunately, Masscomp supplies the QMS too, and uses
"punitive pricing" to encourage customers to buy it from them.
That is, the troff and GPS filters come "free" with their QMS,
but cost $2500 if purchased alone! This stinks, and is in conflict
with Masscomp's advertised goals of facilitating their customers'
use of industry standard components.
Anyhow, I was wondering if there was some public-domain software
to do these conversions?
