I would like to get a postscript file output from my wordperfect document in my PC, so that I can print it out on laserwriter at work. I have installed Apple Laserwriter driver, but I am not able to figure out the way to set it to print into a file. I would appreciate any help. Please e-mail. Thanks in advance, Swamy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ H.V.

Assuming that you have WordPerfect 5.x, it's relatively simple. After selecting one of the Postscript printer drivers (such as the Apple Laserwriter), one of the options on the 'select a printer' screen is to change the port. The 'change the port' option allows you to print the file to disk. You can then carry this file to work to print on the Postscript printer. Note that each time that you print, you will overwrite the existing file. You can work around this by either creating multiple printer definitions or renaming the printer output on the 'List files' (F5) screen. Enjoy!

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 |
