Important For Graphics Professionals!
Authored by: nvdingo on Apr 10, '03 12:46:30PM

this hint and the previous comment by gvaughn essentially tell you how to set your machine up as a Postscript RIP/printserver for ANY PRINTER!

of course you might not get the quality of a paid for RIP for your printer.
you get the savings.

with gimp-print installed, and fine-tuning the ink settings in printer setup files, you might actually get better quality, for free.

your mileage may vary, but for simple postscript layout proofing, and not color proofing, this makes working in many programs that produce postscript output under OS 9, a whole lot cheaper! (not having to buy postscript rip software for your epson, or HP or canon, or whatever cheap cheap inkjey you want to use)
