Concerning the ability of maclaser (the Unix program for printing Mac
output on Unix LaserWriters) to print PageMaker output:

PageMaker 2.0 has the ability to generate output using either their Aldus
Prep or Apple's LaserPrep. If you set this option to LaserPrep, you can use
cmd-F to generate the PostScript and use maclaser as is. I haven't taken much
of a look at the new Aldus Prep, but I think you could also persuade it to
work in this situation also. (There are sometimes advantages to using
AldusPrep instead of LaserPrep, and vice-versa.)
