Larry -- I think that it would be a good idea to have complete though confusing documentation on PRINTERTYPES somewhere (not necessarily in IDhardcopy.im) --- perhaps in the implementers guide?  Do you have such a document already?  Could we send it to Shulman?'

I''ve edited the documentation for printing a bit. I included SEND.FILE.TO.PRINTER and CONVERT.FILE.TO.TYPE.FOR.PRINTER taken out the references to EMPRESS and MAKEINTERPRESS and MAKEPRESS.'
'
I left the description of the format of PRINTFILETYPES and PRINTERTYPES fairly vague -- I feel torn between complete information and confusing detail.'
'
Feel free to give another shot on this -- it is <LispManual>IDHARDCOPY.IM.'

Can someone please send me COMPLETE documentation of the new'
PRINTERTYPES list, what goes on it and what does what.  The sources'
to FXPRINTER and PRINTER are of some help but not much beyond that (i.e.'
looking at the variable PRINTERTYPES reveals many more options than these'
two files use.)  Thanks.'
