There is a third party software product called UltraScript, done by
Imagen Corporation (a subsidiary of QMS), and marketed through Atari,
that prints PostScript files quite nicely on the SLM804 Laser printers.

Retail list price on the SLM804 is $1,295.00.  UltraScript lists for
$229.95 (U.S., as of Sept. 1, 1990).
