Printing to any printer from Classic
You're welcome. :) I posted it when I happened to trip across this hint and thought "I'm doing it a different way that's not so Unix-y. I guess there are some other people who might want to hear about it."
Note that you can also print from an OS9-only computer this way. You have to AppleShare the print folder on an OSX-machine. So you save the .ps/.pdf file across the network to the Folder Action'ed folder on the OSX computer, and off you go. Finally, the reason I have the .ps to .pdf code is that when I first wrote the script, I was running Jaguar, sharing my DeskJet, and unaware of the GIMP printing drivers, and a .ps file wouldn't print. I couldn't test to see if it was still necessary because not only am I running Panther now, but I also have GhostScript installed and a lot of other non-standard stuff (for the TeX typesetting system, in this case), and what worked for me might not work for other people. I found a reference somewhere that Jaguar had "pstopdf," and I figured better safe than sorry. |
