English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Printing to PDF file on Workbench 3.1 (or 3.1.4)

I have searched extensively on this and I find that a combination of Ghostscript 8.x and an easyGS tool distributed by amigakit was the way to go in the past. All the links to easygs.lha are dead, though, and I am unable to find it. Can someone point me to the latest way to print to PDF on classic WB 3.X or upload easygs.lha to the zone? Thanks for any ideas or help printing to PDF. If it helps my main rig is an A2000 w/PPS 040 accelerator 32megs ram OS 3.1 full ECS chipset with 2meg chip, xsurf w/usb.

Printing to laserjet with a jetdirect is an option too although I havent found any classic amiga apps for jetdirect support. Maybe printing to file using a laserjet driver would work? Then I could load that file and shoot it to the printer on another machine.

Why am I doing this? Because we all like using our Amigas right? Thanks for any help!
