Hello everybody out there in net-land!  This is my question...is there any way
take a postscript file, put it thru my IBM, have my IBM generate a bitmap,
and then send it to a dot-matrix printer (a 9-pin Panasonic KX-P1091)?  
This would seem to be similar to what the NeXT computer does, with the 
possible exception of the lack of a "hardwired" postscript interpreter.  If
anyone could give me leads on where I could find stuff so that I could do stuff
like that, I would really appreciate it.
