PageMaker doesn't provide background printing to a LaserWriter because
their own prep-file (Aldus prep), correct?. Are there any other reasons?

Tested: A document containing many scanned images (about 30) and some text.
When printing from PageMaker via a print-buffer (EtherShare from
Helios Software and Apples print-buffer) the printfile generates the
PostScript error:

Error: Limitcheck. Offending command: save.

The same document works all right when not printed via the print-buffer.
What really does PageMaker do, when connected to the LaserWriter? Is there
some kind of interactive printing control?

A way around this might be to save the output as a PostScript file and then
download this to the print-buffer. BUT, now you only get A4-size! So if you
send a tabloid format formatted PostScript file to a LinoType the page will
be clipped within A4-size.

Is there another (better) way around this?
