Please forgive my ignorance if I am wrong about this, but I was under the
impression (based on a newspaper article) that NewsPrint translates
PostScript to bitmaps which it transfers at high speed to non-PostScript
printers.  I don't think you can use NewsPrint with a LaserWriter, nor do
I think you could get practical use out of NewsPrint over a serial line.
For printing to a LaserWriter, I think you need to use TranScript.
