PostScript Question

TedSenior Account Manager

I noticed on the 1015/1018/1018D that one of the notes by the Postscript option states that the postscript is required for apple and UNIX printing. I knew it was required for apple, but not for UNIX. Here is my observation and question. None of the other machines have a note by the postscript regarding UNIX. Do we need the postscript option, say on a 1060 also, if they are going to print from a UNIX environment?

According to our internal UNIX Guru, Unix does not require PostScript (although at one time that was true). He mentioned something about UNIX now using something called CUPS. Our Server is UNIX and our client PC's are WIN98SE. The UNIX and the Clients all print to the Ricoh devices. I can't really fully understand our UNIX Guru, he tends to speak in binary code, but this is more or less what I understood from him for whatever its worth.

We also have systems out in the field printing from UNIX through PCL. Can't tell you what 'flavor' the UNIX is right off the top of my head. However we also have other customers printing to Ricohs from UNIX through Postscript.
