OK, I must be doing something trivially wrong.  I have a frequent need
to download postscript files and print them locally on my
MacIIvx/Everex LaserScript setup.  The LaserWriter utility works fine,
except that it is a foreground application.  Is there anything
available that will spool postscript files and print them in the
background?  I grabbed DTPrinter in the hopes that it would do the
job, but it appears to be too smart -- it appears to print things
using the original application (if there is one) -- I can't make it
print a postscript as anything other than the raw ascii text.  (As an
experiment I tried saving output as a postscript file from Clarisworks
-- DTPrinter choked on the resulting file [can't open Desktop
Database, Can't find application] -- but the LaserWriter Utility
handled it just fine.)
