----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Several recent messages about Internet guides have discussed problems
with ftp'ing and printing postscript files. Is anyone out there able to
point me (and others) towards any references that give guidance on
this, or is willing to give a basic email tutorial on the topic?
My questions would be:
Do you have to ftp the files as BINARY files?
Which printers will function as postscript printers? Apple
LaserWriter, HP LaserJets?
How do you get the printer to process a postscript file? Just
type COPY <filename> LPT1 for IBM PC's? Or is there more
software involved?
Having made many fruitless attempts to ftp and print the guide
"Zen & the Internet" and seeing the messages about the latest
guide (whose name escapes me right now) I am sure I am not the
only one out here who doesn't know quite what to do :-)
