I missed the original posting of this query, but I have been using
Publishing Partner from the time of the original release to generate
Postscript output.  It does a nice job, and I've written several papers
with it.  You can get a special font disk that supports all of the
LaserWriter Plus fonts, and Don Rice has distributed PD versions of the
Times and Symbol fonts through this group.  Unfortunately the new
versions of PP are flaky, but I'm still using PP 1.03 and am pretty
satisfied with it.  Plus it is cheap -- now going for $75 Cdn. in the
local store, less by mail order.
