If you have System 7, look in the "Tidbits" Disk and you should find the
"LaserWriter Font Utility" (I have 1.4 Mb Sys7 disks so it may be elsewhere
for 800k disks). You can use this to download PS files. I don't think this
utility comes with System 6.0x. However, it does come with your printer disks.

Alternatively, I have heard that "SendPS" (a shareware PS downloader) will
work with System 7 if your laserwriter driver is left in the system folder but
out of the extensions folder.SendPS works well with system 6.0x.
