You guys said ++ it takes PS files and converts them into prn_1000 files. What is ++ a prn_1000 file? Its a bitmap file. ++ Is there some way of making it produce bitmap files for dot matrix printers ++ or an HP Deskjet? See above. If dot matrix = Epson then yes. If printer = HPDJ or HPLJ then yes.
