I have a PostScript printer, but it's not hooked up to a Mac, nor is it on capable of being hooked up to a Mac. Is there a program, sort of like Freedom of the Press Spooler, that will intercept "Laserwriter" output and send it to a specified folder somewhere on the hard drive? I am aware of the Command-K option, but it seems to me that there should be another way. Thanks, MikeC -- --------------------------------------------------------- Michael D.

You can drop it into your system folder and it adds two check boxes. One that saves LaserWriter output to disk with LaserPrep, the other without it. Also I remember reading in an old (read: Oct 90) MacWeek about a button in the Apple LaserPrep that can be "moved" on screen with Resedit and it does the same thing (with LaserPrep I believe). This works fine if you have a LaserWriter to send it to. However I have yet to get any other Postscript printer to print it. Oh well... Mike. My opions are my own, no one else will take them...

Pick up a copy of the latest issue of Mac User, and turn to the section entitled Laswriter Driver with the included wuick reference guide. That section explains how to build a a postscript file out put option to the Laser Writer driver. --Enjoy Gregory
