This message is based on my not having seen this answer posted by anyone
else... but then I may have missed a few :-).

In LaserWriter Driver 6.0 there were some nice changes made in the Prep
file that make it do the proper checks for certain Apple only
PostScript items. In the past it would flush the entire job if it wasn't
an Apple printer, now it will skip over what was needed (ex. bitmap smoothing)
and continue. So for LaserWriter 6.0, a command-K file with the full ApplePrep
should work fine downloaded to any Adobe licensed PostScript printer.

Hope this proves useful and solves a few problems.
