The cmd-F (yea, I know you don't need the "cmd") works even if you're
not connected to a real network. I have made some PS-files on my Mac at
home in this way. Use an "initiated" Startupdisk with AppleTalk and LW-files,
just set AppleTalk to active in the Chooser dialog box.
By "initiated" I mean "been used for printing in a network before". My
suggestion is: get a StartUp disk that supports the PS-interception (F or K).
Disconnect your Mac from the network, domenu "Print", click "OK" and type
"cmd-F _before_ the Mac starts to "Looking for laserwriter NN".
I hope it helps.
