When you select LaserWriter, and do a Print..., hold down CMD-F
*immeditately* after you press the OK button. It should create a
PostScript file in your root directory. I haven't done this in
quite a while, so I don't remember what it writes exactly. I
beliefe this CMD-F trick will write the code that comes from
LaserPrep also. There's another CMD option that you can make and
it will exclude the stuff from LaserPrep; I believe it is
CMD-D--I'm not sure.
I hope this helped a little bit.
