   I want to produce PostScript files on my Mac at home, where I have
   all the software, and then take them to work to print out, where they
   have the LaserWriter, but not the software. I tried installing the
   LaserWriter driver and doing Command-F, but the driver insists that
   a real LaserWriter is present before it will do anything. Is there
   any way round this? 

Well, when you print on your Mac at home, you not only have to install
the laserwriter driver, but lie to you mac and use the chooser to say
you have a laserwriter installed.  Tell it that Appletalk is indeed
hooked up (make sure your imagewriter is turned off) and then heed its
warning to do a page setup so that it can reformat your document for
the laserwriter.

Then I think there is a program from Adobe that will allow you to
download a postscript file to a laserwriter at work.  I'm not sure of
the details, though, I've never used it.  Or, if you have a UNIX
system you can use a program called macps (avail from
sumex.stanford.edu) that will send your mac generated ps file to a
postscript printer hooked up to UNIX.  Get macps, install it, and try
to use it before you ask me any questions... :-)
