904.0. "MAC print to PORT LASERWRITER" by WOTVAX::MORRISON () Fri Jun 19 1992 18:21

My customer has added about 60 Apple MAC's to his ALL-IN-1 
system.  These use the VERSITERM terminal emulator to talk to 
ALL-IN-1.  He would like to print WPS+ documents to his local 
Laserwriter printers.

If he uses the PORT document destination, he loses all the 
formatting, Bold, Underline etc...  Is there a PORT LASERWRITER 
or something similar he could use ?

904.1Not in standard productWAYLND::HOWARDOur business is computers not moneyFri Jun 19 1992 21:239
    A similar question was answered in past couple of months.  PORT uses
    LP11 as its format.  This causes underlines and bold to be done with
    overstriking. If you have a LASERWRITER table, then you could get the
    system manager to add that as a destination, or TAB down to the type
    field and change it to LASERWRITER.  If you don't have such as table,
    then you could try some of the other values under type to see if they
    work any better.

Ben,

Thanks.  We've tried all the standard ones, but none appear to 
work.

Thanks anyway.

904.3Ask in WPS-PLUS conferencesIOSG::NEWLANDRichard Newland, IOSG, REO1-D/4AMon Jun 22 1992 22:199
Have you asked in the WPS-PLUS conferences?  

In order to print WPS-PLUS documents to a Laserwriter with bolding,
underlining, etc. you would need LASERWRITER WPS-PLUS Printer Tables so
that the WPS-PLUS formatter can create listing files with the required
printer control sequences.
