Hi everyone...

   I have successfully connected with sumex-aim.stanford.edu... and I'm
   looking for a doc/prog/whatever that'll allow me to upload a Mac file
   (both graphics and text) and laser print on the Laser Writers attached
   to our SUN (UNIX) network...

   so far, (correct me if I'm wrong).. it seems like I'd have to save a
   postscript version of my file, upload that, attach a POSTSCRIPT-HEADER
   file to the beginning of it, and then send it off to the laser 
   printer (lpr filename)... am I right about this?

   Is there a better way?  I compared the size of the postscript file and
   the original file... the postscript file was 75K as compared to the
   original MS WORD (w/pics) file which was approx 25K...   If I have to
   do this on a long term basis, I may be better off printing at Kinko's
   and save the phone bill...  any comments?

   Joe
