: If you are using System 7, it's easy. You must have LaserWriter chosen as your
: printer. The "Print..." dialog box should then display a "Create PostScript
: File" option (it may not read exactly like that). In System 6, it's possible
: but trickier: You have to hold down the command & shift keys right AFTER you
: click on the OK button in the print dialog--or something like that. (I haven't
: done it for a while.) Check your user guide: it should be in there.
: 
: Be prepared: even a five line memo will result in a PostScript file that could
: be 500K or larger! 
OR

in SYS6 there's a resedit hack:
	backup print driver file
	open the laserwriter print driver (in resedit)
	find the DLOG/WIND or something that looks like the PRINT dialog box
	enlarge the window
	issue a "show item numbers"
	find #25 or is it #24 (the biggest #)
	double click on it
	enter valid dimensions (currently set at a 0x0 item)
	resize to taste (sounds like a recipe:-) (PS it is a CHECKBOX item)
	position to taste
	shrink window to original size
	save and quit

to use:
	click on "save to file" checkbox
	a file will be created in the spool folder within the system folder
		such as postscript0,postscript1,etc.
