My question is the same as that of Dan Ellison in this Digest, Jan. 5: How does one send PostScript output to a file? He requested an e-mail direct reply, but I suspect that the answer is of more general interest and ask that it be posted publicly. I have seen some discussion related to this matter here and elsewhere. The gist seems to be to print to the laser printer, but immediately after clicking OK on the Print dialogue box, press command-F to get the PostScript file (or command-K to also get the laser prep file). I have tried this in MicroSoft Works without success (except once, and I don't know why it worked that time). I was able to get the PostScript file (with laser prep) when I was already directly connected to the laser printer, but of course this defeats the purpose. But then I ran into another problem: Even with the laser prep file prefixed to the PostScript file for my document, I was unable to get the laser printer to print anything. Any ideas?
