Kinda, if you can get it, try LaserFix.  You can drop it into your system
folder
and it adds two check boxes.  One that saves LaserWriter output to disk with
LaserPrep, the other without it.

Also I remember reading in an old (read: Oct 90) MacWeek about a button in the
Apple LaserPrep that can be "moved" on screen with Resedit and it does the same
thing (with LaserPrep I believe).

This works fine if you have a LaserWriter to send it to.  However I have yet
to get any other Postscript printer to print it.  Oh well...

Mike.

My opions are my own, no one else will take them...
