There is a program called "CAMEO" that lets you print one a postscript
printer directly from a dos system.
This program can have several file formats has input and several file
format has output as well as over 20 different printers (Mitzubish, Epson
dot matrics,HP,Polaroid,....) I have a bad memory to remenber more.
For details send Email to me.
