[comp.protocols.appletalk] Incompatibility between Word 3.x and LW driver with Print to Disk

  I recently began replacing the standard LaserWriter driver with one
modified by myPageSetup to enable the Print to Disk option (with local
editing of the coordinates to put it on the right side of the page instead
of the left).  I had been using it for regulary (and still printing to a
LaserWriter) with no problems.
  However, it seems as if Work 3.00 (or maybe 3.01, I forget which) not 
only brings up it's own print dialog box, but after you select Okay, it
automatically creates a Postscript file, like it is somehow enabling the
print to disk feature ffrom the standard box.  I tried about 15 other 
applications I had (including Word 4.0), and all printed out fine with
the updated driver (version 6.0, if it makes a difference).
  Can anyone else confirm this problem?  I would like people to have the
modified driver, since the Print to Disk selection is a nice feature, but
since almost everyone here uses Word 3.x, I can't.
