  Just a followup that if you enable the "Print to Disk" box normally
hidden in all LaserWriter drivers (either using myPageSteup or ResEdit),
the system will spool Postscript files to disk in the background, just
as if it was printing to a LW in the background.  I think having the
print ot disk option available up front (as oppsed to having to
generate it with hidden keystrokes) is a great feature, and if it
didn't cause an incompatibility with Word 3.x printing, I would install
it on all systems.
  In any case, with background printing enabled, I don't think any LW 
driver can still look for and accept keystrokes (ie. cmd-f).
