Hello,

I have the following problem: I regular get technical reports in 
PostScript format and I don't have access to a LaserWriter. My idea is 
to print these PostScript files with the help of a PostScript interpreter
on an ImageWriter.

From the article on personal page printers in the MacWorld from may 1991
I understand there are 3 commercial programs that can print PostScript
files on a matrixprinter, namely Freedom of Press 3.0 (smaller version:
Freedom of Press Light 3.0), TScript 1.3 (smaller version: TScript Basic
1.3) and UltraScript Plus 1.03 (smaller version: UltraScript 1.03).

My first question is: which of these programs are able to print PostScript
files that are not created on the Macintosh?

My second question: how good are there PostScript interpreters?

Thanks,
 
Ruurd Wiegers
