<p> ExportPS an application
to use in Mini vMac (version 3.0.0 or later)
to assist in the process of printing.
There is no direct support for printing in Mini vMac,
but you can use the ability built into System 6.0.8
and later to print to a Postscript file. You can then export
this file to the host computer, and print it from there.
See the "How can I print from Mini vMac?" question
in the <a href="../../faq.html">FAQ</a>.
</p>
<p> ExportPS is specialized variation of
<a href="../exportfl/index.html">ExportFl</a> that saves a few steps.
The differences from ExportFl are that: </p>
<blockquote>
<p> * It does not ask which file to export, but
instead looks for a file named "PostScript"
in the folder containing the ExportPS
application. ("PostScript" is the default
name saved by the printing dialog.) </p>
<p> * The default name in the save dialog
on the host computer is "PostScript.ps".
(The ".ps" extension allows operating
systems such as OS X to recognize that
it is a PostScript file.) </p>
<p> * When finished exporting, it
deletes the "PostScript" file. (So that
the next time you try to print you
won't need to confirm replacing the
previous "PostScript" file.) </p>
<p> * It then automatically quits. (It
can't export anything else, so it
might as well quit, so that you
can get back to the application
you printed from quicker.) </p>
</blockquote>
</p>
<p> <b> important </b> : You should avoid switching away
from Mini vMac to another application until ExportPS quits.
If you switch away while ExportPS is still running,
the exported file will not be valid yet. By
default, Mini vMac pauses emulation when it is not the
active application. (Even in this case, once you switch back
to Mini vMac then ExportPS should complete successfully.)
