Once again rumors of a 24 pin printer that supports Postscript are running
around. Does anyone know if there is any truth to them?

For Postscript experts -- how difficult would it be to make a postscript
driver for a 24 pin printer that would be resident on a Mac? One would
certainly give up a lot of speed, but for those of us with limited budgets
and poor access to laser printers, it might be a very good alternative.

Maybe we'll get lucky and a niche hardware company like Radius would come
out with a small hw engine to do something like this for a fraction of the
cost of the LW.
