Of all the stupid things to do:
Apollo's postscript support queries the printer
to see if the product name is (LaserWriter) !

What about all the other vendors that make postscript
printers?

In particular, I have a TurboLaser/PS that I'd like to use.

As a temporary workaround I can redefine the product (in the
statusdict) but it only lasts as long as power is on.

How about a fix, Apollo?
