I wonder if there is a new version My version of SendPS seems to look for whatever laser is chosen in the chooser, and will dig through a big appletalk network to find it. I don't know what version it is. : that works with networked Laserwriters with arbitrary names, or if : there are other shareware or freeware that do the job. Apple released a small utility with the System7 disks called LaserWriter Font Utility, and allows the user to send a postscript file to a laser (chooser decided), as well as other handy tasks (downloading fonts). If your system disks do not have it, ask your dealer and he/she should make it readily available since it is still in the domain of free system software. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |Robert A.
