[comp.sys.mac.misc] Getting a PostScript file with COMM-F

rgp@deth.westford.ccur.com (Dick Phillips) (09/10/90)

	Create your graphic
	Call for Print - whereupon you get a dialog box
	Click OK
	Then immediately type COMM-F and hold it u ntil the cursor
		reappears.

The result is that you get a Postscript file on the disk.  The
default name of the first file so-created is PostScript0, the
name of a second is PostScript1, etc.

My problem is that I am unable to make it happen on either a
MAC II or a MAC IIcx, both runnning 6.0.4. software.  On the
other hand, it does work on an SE30.  Is it the case that it
does not work on the large machines?  Does anyone know of an
Init, Fkey, or CDEV that does such a thing?  Alternatively, if
any of you Apple system programmers out there would care to
create such a thing for me, we might get together.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

	This function is part of the LaserWriter printer driver.  Therefore,
you must have the LaserWriter driver in your System Folder and you must
select it from the Chooser before printing.

Here's an init called LaserFix.  Just put it in your System Folder and reboot
your machine.  When you print a box will appear in the LaserWriter dialog box
that says "Write to disk" or something like that.  You can choose a file name
instead of Postscript0, etc.  Just extract this posting and remove all above
the line beginning (This file must be....

You will also have to remove my .signature at the end.  Good luck.
