Another approach would be to use the Postscript imaging in the NeXT and send the "bit image" to the LaserJet IIP. I assume that the parallel port may be preferable for this (as it is much faster than even 19.2K or 38.4K baud). My question is can this be done... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Edward McClanahan Hewlett Packard Company -or- edwardm@cup.hp.com Mail Stop 42UN 11000 Wolfe Road Phone: (480)447-5651 Cupertino, CA 95014 Fax: (408)447-5039
