  In word, create a new document the size of the page of the postscript file
(A4-8 1/2 x 11, etc).  Set all margins to zero.  Include the postscript
file, then with the entire document selected, set the style to postscript.
  Assuming the postscript file is reasonably behaved, you should be able
to print the file.

Aldus makes a program called Font Downloader that comes with their font packages.  This program will allow you to change the password.

You could also generate a text file containing PS commands and then send that
to the laser.

I believe that if you hold the option key while hitting the OK button in the
Print box you will get a Postscript file.

I have a LaserWriter II NT.  It prints a line down the right edge of
the page intermittently.  How can I make it stop?

Please, if you know the answer, send email (or call if you're in the
617 area (439-6660)).  I've tried to call Apple customer service, but
they gave me the the run around and had me call an 800 number which then
had me call businessland which gave me another number which told me it
would cost $50 "per solution" over the phone, and could I wait until
the end of the day when someone would call me back and it would be
free then.  No thanks.

Someone please help me!!! (the boss is breathing down my neck to get
this thing printed properly before 2:00.)

Thanks a bundle.
