Hello,
    I have captured the output of the LaserWriter driver to a file
called Postscript0 by pressing the F key after I issue the print
command. The file I get does not look like other Postscript files that
I have seen. There seems to be some hints that the LaserWriter driver
does not send Postscript, but instead sends an interpreter to the
printer and that interpreter converts the LaserWriter output to
Postscript. Is this true? If so is there any utility that will do the
conversion on the file before it is sent to the printer? Thanks for any
comments.
