Here are some things I'd LIKE to see in a PostScript printer driver: 1) Multiple-up printing (this is relatively easy if you have well-behaved PostScript) 2) ROUND pen option, so diagonal lines aren't thicker than horiz/vert lines. 3) Line join options (cutoffs, rounding, extensions) 4) Sane ways to get output to serial ports or disk or tcp connection or ? If I remember the original posting correctly, Adobe promised integrated handling of printers with multiple paper trays. That's another nice thing. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: {convex,uunet}!uiucuxc!dorner
