Is it possible to get the Macintosh to talk to PostScript printers
other than the LaserWriter?

The problem is that the Mac talks to the LaserWriter using AppleTalk,
but other PostScript printers require a normal RS232 connection.

Perhaps I can patch the LaserWriter  system file in some way to make
it talk RS-232?
