APDA sells something called a serial laserwriter driver. This my let you
print to a serially connected postscript printer in one step, without
having to go to the 'k' or 'f' key kludge. It certainly should if your
laserwriter is directly connected to a mac over a serial port, and it
might help if there is another computer in the way. It is quite cheap, so
someone who uses this configuration should certainly look into it.
