RE: Host Print Transform and printing graphics

["Rick DuVall" <R_C_DuVall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pat,

>The "native" solution is a full blown with all the whistles and bells
>and memory IPDS printer.

        Ok Pat, gonna have to help me here.  I have several *IPDS printers -
4234M12 and another model or 2 from IBM, though nothing near new.  What has
that got to do with this?  I'm confused.(normal state)

>HPT was never intended for "high volume"

>text using a pc solution is like hunting elephants with a BB gun.

        So, are you saying that hpt IS a pc solution?  Because it uses the 
overlays
created on a pc?  Forgive my ignorance - I'm just feeling my way through...


>Extra memory for spool pool will also speed things along.

        My spool subsystem isn't faulting and it has 12meg - should I try more?

>You can have fast or cheap but you only get to pick one.

        Could you elaborate? Particularly in regard to the ipds printer 
mentioned
above?

        I have never dabbled in this stuff before and any pointers are much
appreciated.

Regards
Rick

P.S. to Pat : In regards to an earlier discussion, my 3rd dsl provider went
out of business so now I have a t1 from a phone company and a pretty decent
vpn.  Are you getting connected?
