Well, there are a couple of things you can try.  First, create the
file using cmd-K to include the LaserPrep file.  Make sure you stick
to the basic Times, Helvetica, etc. fonts resident in the
LaserWriter`s ROM.  If the LaserWriter you print to has fonts
downloaded to a harddisk, you can use those too.  Otherwise, you must
download the fonts you use prior to the file.

If that doesn't work, there is a program which runs on UNIX systems
called macps.  You create your PostScript file using cmd-F, upload it
to a UNIX host attached to a LaserWriter and use macps to print it.
