    I presume that the LaserPrep in question is "68 0".  There are a
few changes you need, to make it work with the Imagen.  Mostly it's
a matter of putting in some comments.  First to make it easier to edit
change all the carriage returns to line feeds.  Next edit the lines as
follows:

%%%statusdict begin waittimeout 300 lt{0 60 300 setdefaulttimeouts}if end

currentfile statusdict begin serverdict begin product (LaserWriter II NT) eq revision 1 eq and {/setrealdevice {%%%//setrealdevice

/execjob {31 sendpcmd 4 eq tonerlight %%%//execjob

    The three percent (%) comment characters are the changes.  You could
just delete those parts.  I commented them out for documentation
purposes.

    This is working for us with our Imagen 3320 and UltraScript 4.1(?).
I just hope some mailer doesn't truncate the long line above.

    There is also a program around called prepfix which does something,
but I don't know what as I don't have a copy.  It can be found on
sumex-aim.stanford.edu, among other places.
