Re: concept of a Xy PCL driver for producing standard Postscript



Hello all,

It is indeed possible to get a Xy3 PS printer driver to work. Somehow,
the output is not recognised by the GhostPCL engine but, when you issue
'TYF ,output.ps' from the command line and distill the result, it seems
to work OK. The attached driver has the PS standard fonts. Font styles
may need some fixing, e.g. MDRV does not produce italics, MDBR does.


Upon some investigation, it seems that Xy3 is unable to put the final
'EOT' (as in 'FE<) s restore EOT') in the PS output stream and this is
why the Xy3 drivers do not work with GhostPCL. Can the Xy3 driver be
coaxed to output it?


Best regards,
