Reminds my of USB. Not few folks think you just need "USB" for SMSQ/E and - voila - you can use all USB devices. BTW I fully support you in the idea of Postscript as the most reasonable solution for our printer problem. (Use of postscript could offer us even more, e.g. WYSIWYG preview, high-quality conversion to PDF, bitmaps, and other formats - all under QDOS / SMSQ) Main drawback is that postscript emulation will be mighty slow on any QL style hardware without FPU - and quite memory hungry. All the best Peter
