I have been tring to write one for sometime.  Unfortunately, the
documentation on what the printer control codes do is non-existant, and
a request that I posted to comp.sys.amiga.tech either was unanswered, or
the replies were lost when my mailbox ended up being owned by someone
else (what a screw up!)  I have passed the article to CBM Oz, who are
looking into the questions.

I will post the finished product to the net.

Incidentally, why did you buy an Apple Postscript printer?  They are the
bottom of the heap.  Have a look at the NEC LC-890 which is almost $2000
cheaper in this country, and a much better printer.



All hail Saint Fubar, parton saint of computer programmers.
