I heard somewhere recently (maybe it was even here - I've only been
half following lang.postscript) about a dot-matrix PostScript printer.

Is there any way to print PostScript on an Apple ImageWriter II ?
Does anyone make a PS translator or special IW driver to do this?
Is such a thing even possible? (Would it be ridiculously slow, etc...)

The main benefit I think would come from such a beast is the ability
to print high-res text in any point size; the current strategy prints
the 200% point size at 50%, which works rather well actually but tends
to limit one's choice of text sizes! (I don't think I've ever seen a
28pt screen font, for example, and 14pt is a size I would use)

Thanks in advance for any advice via e-mail; if it seems that hordes
of other netters have also been dying to know this very thing, I will
summarize!
