Personal LaserWriter NT: Using with Amiga 2500



Are there drivers for the Amiga 2500 that let it communicate with the
Personal LaserWriter NT via the computer's RS-232 port?

As of October 1990, our databases show nothing about printing PostScript
from an Amiga. Depending on your application software (or interfacing
drivers), you have two choices:

* Connect serially to the LaserWriter and use its built-in PostScript.

* Set the LaserWriter to Diablo 630 emulation and print to it as if the
LaserWriter were a "dumb" printer.

The Diablo 630 mode is a no-frills, daisy-wheel emulation, so if you have
an application that doesn't mind if you strip out control codes, you'll
be in business. The LaserWriter Owner's Guide has much more on this
type of connection and interface capabilities.
