Hai there,

When I create a PostScript file on Macintosh using the printer driver,
it usually needs a special prefix file (the LaserPrep) to be
downloaded before it can be printed on the LaserWriter. This is
normally done when initing the printer.

However, when I want this PostScript file to be printed on another
printer, or when I want to preview it using PostScript previewers,
there's no such thing as LaserPrep.

How can I create a PostScript filech is suitable for downloading to
non-LaserWriter printers? Does there exist something like a 'fake'
LaserPrep (or emulator) for this purpose?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Johan
