I found a utility that does this on apple.com (sorry, can't find the IP
address), it's called macPs , it's in /ArchiveVol2/Postscript and works
great. It needs a copy of Laser Prep uploaded as well as the file to
print. It runs as a filter when sending the file to the printer driver,
and edits in a version of laser prep.
