 Submitted here is a shell script lsmith created to handle files created
with command F and all the little bugs due to different versions of
laserprep, etc. We have been using it without a complaint for 6 mos or
more - you will have to put the appropriate laserprep files where you
want them and edit the script accordingly.

						MACPR(1l)






NAME
       macpr - print a mac postscript file on the laserprinter

SYNTAX
       macpr file (file file ...)

DESCRIPTION
       macpr will take one or more PostScript files produced on a
       Macintosh, prepend the proper modified header file, and send 
       it to the LaserWriterPlus in 369 Upson. 

       macpr checks for keywords telling it what version of Adobe
       PostScript this file was intended to run on (currently 1.0 & 2.0)
       and rejects the file if it cannot find them. 

       If the file contains the proper keys, macpr will add the 
       1.0 or 2.0 header and send the job to the printer.

       +++++++++++++++NOTE: The Mac INCANTATION+++++++++++++++++++++++++

       Step 1. Lie to your Mac. Tell it that it is connected to a
	       LaserWriter, even if this means telling it that AppleTalk
	       is connected to the printer port. (But shut off the 
	       Imagewriter first.) This means:
	       A. having laserwriter and laserprep in the system folder
	       B. using the chooser to select the laserwriter 

       Step 2. Select PageSetup from the file menu, and choose settings
	       and features for this print job.

       Step 3. Select Print from the file menu, choose settings
	       from the resulting dialog box, and get ready to click
	       on OK. But do not do so yet.

       Step 4. While holding down the CMD (clover) key, click on OK and 
	       IMMEDIATELY press and hold the f key until a box comes up
	       with "Creating PostScript file". Then you may release
	       both keys and wait for it to finish. (You will probably
	       have to shut off any print spooler to make this work)

       Step 5. exit your application and look for the PostScript file.
	       If it is PostScript0, then you may create up to 10
	       files at once. If it is named PostScript, then you will
	       have to exit and change its name each time that you
	       create a PS file, or it will be overwritten.

       Step 6. Reset printer choice when done. Then twiddle something in
	       the control panel, which will save the chooser setting.
	       (yes, this is arcane. But it means using the printer
	       normally the next time you power up...)

       Step 7. Use VersaTerm to logon to ionvax, and issue the command
	       "kermit -r", which prepares ionvax's kermit to recieve
	       a file. On the Mac, select Text Kermit from the file menu.
	       
       Step 8. Select SendFile... from the file menu, select the file to
	       send, and click SendOne. The file will be copied into your 
	       current directory on ionvax with the name it has on the 
	       Mac.

       Step 9. macpr file    [on ionvax, of course...]

DIAGNOSTICS
       Complains about no file, file with LaserPrep header, files which
       are not Adobe-1.0 or Adobe-2.0, zero length file.
