I have been told that it is possible to get the normal LaserWriter print drivers
to dump the postscript they generate to a disk file rather than send it out over
Appletalk to the printer.  Supposedly all that is required is that the File...
print menu item be selected while you are holding down some obscure key
combination.

If this is not true, is there any other general way to get programs to print
postscript to disk rather than to the printer (i.e. a DA, INIT, etc).

Thanks in advance for any help,

Steve
