Re: Printing directly to PS printer?

Thanks for all the useful information. The PrintFile utility sounds
very interesting. I will check that out later tonight. Miht be the
ticket if it will let me specify duplex and let me enforce the printe
quality I want(my printer can be told to print at 600dpi to save ink
or 3 different flavors of 1200dpi, plus numerous options suchas rEt,
etc.. If I can specify those things with PrintFile and basically have
the original, pure postscript file sent to the printer for rendering,
then I will be happy.

I want to print lilypond files, if possible without having to
downconvert them to PDF and back again, even though I realize Adobe
has probably made PDF data smart enough to do a pretty darn clean
translation.

The other suggestion someone made about the PPD, I'm not sure how I
could use those. I get ps files from lilypond, which to my knowledge
does not do anything related to PPD's. They are generic postscript
files with no printer-specific stuff added to them. But I simply want
to have those postscript files rendered on my postscript printer, as
purely as possible , and still be able to control the printer at the
time I print it. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how the PPD's work, I
thought those were used while generating postscript.
