Go to the "Select Printer" screen off the main Printer screen. Go to the Apple LaserWriter IINTX driver, and select (E)dit. Change the (P)ort to "(O)ther", and then specify the filename you want to print to. This seems to come up so often, perhaps it should get put in the FAQ file? -- Marc Unangst | mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | "Bus error: passengers dumped" ...!umich!leebai!mudos!mju |

Even better: use the Postscript driver that comes with the program if its not a specific postscript printer listed in the listing. In WP5.1, the latest Postscript printer drivers are on Printer disks 10 (dated 11/6/90) which has a listing for a good deal of the Adobe type library and disk 13 which contains the listing for a good deal of Monotype's type library.

You have to have a utility on the Mac which can handle the dialogue with the printer, such as SendPS. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rick Rutledge {hoptoad|ucsfcca|claris}!wet!rick rick@wet.UUCP "Voici le secret." dit le renard.
