I have an Apple IIe and am running Publish It! 3.0  This program does
desktop publishing and prints on a laserprinter.  I do not have a laser
printer so I write the postscript file and laserprep (Apple Postscript
Dictionary version #68) file to disk and then transfer it to a Sun 3/60
with SunOS 4.0 using Kermit.  I then try to print it on an Apple Laser
writer II.  what happens is that the file comes out as straight ascii
with no PS processing.  I then aded a %!PS to the first line of the file.
The printer then flashed as if it where working and simply stopped flash-
ing after three or four minutes.

Help!  I just read article <7112@umd5.umd.edu> by Ben Cranston.  Is MacPS
the answer to my problem.  If so, how do I get it.  If not I'll accept
any advice--however great or small.
