It sounds to us like you are not using AppleShare PC print services at all,
but instead you are using the old PC LaserWriter Program that USED to come
bundled with the card. Only in that documentation are application and file
types mentioned -- they are only relevant with the PC Laserwriter Program.
This program is no longer bundled with the card for a variety of reasons,
including: lack of flexibility, supporting only select PC programs, and the
need to quit from the application before you could print.
The PC LaserWriter Program lets you print files created with WordStar,
MultiMate, Lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft Word, or other applications that create
files in ASCII format or files prepared for printing on a Diablo 630
printer.
The AppleShare PC program lets those programs that produce PostScript output to
print in pass-through mode, or emulates and translates output intended for any
number of Epson printers (listed below). It also translates printer commands
and information intended for Epson printers into commands for output to an
ImageWriter.
If the program you want to print from cannot produce (PostScript or) LQ2500
output, configure the program to produce output compatible with one of the
printers in the list that follows. Use the first compatible printer in the
list. The Epson LQ2500 command set is a superset of these printer command
sets, and can use them as well:
Lq2500
LQ1000
LQ800
LQ1500
EX series
FX series
LX series
RX series
MX series
Epson printer
Standard printer
Draft printer
Though we don't have any experience printing documents from either dBASE IV
or Harvard Graphics, since they both support Epson printers and Harvard
Graphics outputs in PostScript, we know of no reason why they couldn't be
printed using the AppleShare PC printing facilities.
