Re: Printing from VdosPlus



The ghostscript support files which have been part of the standard installation for years now should be on your system.

Memories are dim on this one, but you'll also need the ps printer file as modified by Kari.  This file pre-dates what's now called vdosplus, so you should already have it.  With that in place, ghostscript printing is as transparent as pcl -- it will detect the fonts automatically and print a pdf to screen, which you can in turn save or print.  Edward Mendelson provided a utility some time back to print directly to a physical printer, if that's your preference.

I would like to set up printing from VdosPlus using Ghostscript.  I have
and oldish version of VdosPlus (2016-10-01) which is quite heavily
personalised so I don't want to use the installer and find I have to
reconfigure many features again.  Is there a simple step-by-step guide
to tell me how to go about this?  I have read the printer files in my
installation but I am still in the dark.

Any help appreciated
