+ DVI Driver Family Update #11
+ [20-Aug-87]
+
+[[===========================================================]]
+[[ This issue has nothing to do with the DVI driver family ]]
+[[ directly; it is primarily for the benefit of the many VAX ]]
+[[ VMS folks on the mailing list. ]]
+[[===========================================================]]
+
+Many VAX VMS sites have asked about printer spoolers for
+PostScript devices. Newsletter #10 described how to set up
+a spooler suitable for a HP LaserJet (or any similar printer
+which primarily needs XON/XOFF flow control support).
+
+PostScript printers are more difficult, because they are
+rather chatty. My LW78 works under TOPS-20, and
+modifications for Unix have been made at a user site which
+has promised to supply me with the changes; as far as I
+know, no one has attempted to adapt it to VAX VMS. In the
+meantime, the following news item which appeared on the
+INFO-VAX bulletin board this morning promises some good
+news.
+
+Besides this one, there is another from Clarkson University,
+but it is only available to those with Internet ANONYMOUS
+FTP capability. Both postings are reproduced below:

+The PSPRINT package is now available via anonymous FTP from node
+CLUTX.Clarkson.EDU
+
+The files you will need are:
+
+pub/vms/FIX_SAVESET.EXE -- program to fix up saveset after loading it from FTP
+pub/vms/PSPRINT.SAV -- backup saveset of PSPRINT package
+
+You should load it in image mode (in TEK TCP, /TYPE=IMAGE). It is some 1.4MEG.
+If you have any problems or other questions, drop me a note.

+Message-Id: <8708200037.AA00811@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU>

+Organization: The ARPA Internet
+
+For the many of you that have been interested in a symbiont for
+PostScript printers, my user-written laser symbiont is available on the
+latest DECUS tape under [VAX87A.UTEXAS.LASER].
+
+LASER is a user-written print symbiont that is tailored specifically to
+the Apple LaserWriter.
+
+This version of the symbiont is in use at several sites, but should
+still be considered to be in "BETA" testing. It has only been tested
+with version 23 of the LaserWriter, but should work with later versions.
+
+The symbiont as distributed is configured to print normal text files in
+a variety of formats on the laser printer. Support is also included for
+printing PostScript files, MacPaint files, and Zeta plot files. See
+LASER.C for additional capabilities of the symbiont.
+
+It is also available for anonymous ftp from utadnx.cc.utexas.edu:
+
+LASER_BACKUP.BCK - A backup save set that should be transferred
+ in binary,record mode by a site running WIN/TCP.
+LASER_SHAR.COM - A self-unpacking DCL-archive file. (ASCII only)
+
+SPAN nodes may copy the files from UTSPAN::UTADNX""::[FAL]
+
+You only need one of the files, the backup save set has everything
+already built. (You'll need VAXC if you want to recompile.)
+
+Since this is already being distributed via DECUS, I am not going to
+try posting or mailing the sources.
