Lines: 17 I am considering getting a Postscript printer for my amiga. The models that I am considering are: the TI miscolaser, NEC silentwriter 2 model 90, QUME 410 or scriptTEN. Suggestions? (Budget = ~$2000) How well does some of the packages for the amiga (ProPage 2.0, ProDraw, Pagestream 2.1) use these printers? Could I buy PS fonts and download them instead of buying extra hardware (how well does that work). Could I get a parallel PS printer to work under A-Max? I would be interested in using FreeHand, PageMaker, etc. What drivers would I need. How well does A-MaxII handle the parallel connection? Thanks for any pointers. -Rich -- // Rich | "have you ever noticed that opinion without knowledge is \X/ Andrews | always a shabby sort of thing?" - Socrates
