We have someone here who is trying to interface out IBM mainframe to a
Sun running TranScript. The file, when sent over, uses 8-bit
PostScript.

The printcap file, as suggested by adobe, sun, etc. is set up to
strip the parity bit.

Can I just change the printcap entry? Will it work? What is the proper
setting?


Thanks.
