   I don't mess with the mac world, but it is my understanding that there is
   a combination of key strokes something like Apple O or F that will cause the
   Postscript printer output to be redirected to a file.  It will include the
   preamble.  The file should be just what would be sent to the printer, and  
   thus if you have laserprep, it should be pre-appended.  Perhaps some one on
   the net knows the exact key strokes and methods.  Hope this helps.

command-F causes the postscript that would normally be sent to the printer
to be saved in a file, but this is on the assumption that LaserPrep has
already been downloaded. command-K saves everything, including all the
initialization. Unfortunately, this tends to need some doctoring before it's
appropriate for a non-Mac environment, since LaserPrep assumes that it
should retain control for the remaining print jobs, and this mostly likely
isn't what you want for a Unix environment. In the file that we have for
AppleDict version #68 (which I think comes from LaserPrep 5.2), we have
10 lines commented out, starting after %%BeginProcSet, plus one more,
beginning '/ok{statusdict ...'.
