I recently purchased a VariTyper VT600 Plus Laser printer. This printer only
knows postscript. Some of the software that I have does not output
PostScript. This software does output to an Epson FX-85. I have an Epson
FX-85. I would like to sell the Epson FX-85 someday soon. I also have a
program that will convert Epson to PostScript. This solves a few problems.
Now for the real problem.
Some of the software (like Print Shop) outputs directly to the printer. It
does not allow the user to specify a file instead.
Now for the question of the hour.
Is there a program that will allow a user to redirect output from LTP1 to a
file? The program MUST be memory resident, since I cannot call it from inside
other programs. I do not care if it is Public Domain or Commerical since
money is not an issue. (After all I spent $15,000 for the printer. [Actually
I spent $29,000. I bought two of them and they gave me a discount.] ;-)
It it is Public Domain, send it to me. Please do not tell me that it was
posted x number of [days|weeks|months] ago. Since I am asking for it, I do
not have it. I may have seen it, but I did not want it at the time, so I
ignored it. If it is Commerical, send me the program name and the company
that sells it. I am particularily interested in anyone's personal experiences
with regards to this type of product.

Post Script (PS):
I am not looking for any comments about how I should have bought a printer
that emulates other printers besides PostScript. This device is a 600 x 600
D.P.I. High Quality Laser Printer. And from the research that was done, there
are no printers in this class that output PostScript AND emulate other
printers.
