I've seen a number of articles about printing PostScript files generated from
within a Mac application (by pressing cmd-D or cmd-K), but I can't seem to
get the resulting file to print correctly on the LaserWriter we have at work.

cmd-D gets you a nice PostScript file, and cmd-K prepends some sort of header
(presumably stuff from the Laser Prep file), but I just get errors when I
try to print the result.  Come to think of it, the file created from cmd-K
doesn't start with "%!", so it isn't even an official PostScript file, is it?

Has anybody been able to do this?  Could you post the answer (since I'm sure
there are others with this problem)?  If you do, please include even the
"obvious steps" since some of us are PS novices.

Thanks ever so much...
