I know that converting MS-Word files to postscript can be
accomplished using the k or cmd-k technique from the laser writer
print dialog box. Once this is done, what type of postscript file
is created? Is it apple printer specific? The "!%Adobe 2.0" first
line looks the same as on the files my office-mate creates on his
IBM-PC. But my postscript files will not print on our QMS-PS810.
Is there a list of printers which support this method of postscript
file generation on the Mac? Is there a public domain program that
will fix k/cmd-k postscript files to work on a variety of printers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.....

The usual way to output postscript on a mac is to use command-f which will only output the postscript from the file your working on. This can then be run through an interpreted (such as masps for unix machines). There are other chooser files that will configure your output for other postscript printers. I belive that some of these are available by anonymous FTP from Info-mac at stanford ro the simtel20 server at the white sands missle range. I hope this helps. Alex W.
