Hi,

I got hold of the new postscript driver software for the macintosh (Laser
Prep 6.0 and LaserWriter 6.0) and am having trouble getting it to print
figures that can be included in LaTeX documents using psfig (on a unix
system).  I refer here to drawings (i.e. macdraw), not paintings
(macpaint), since paintings sometimes are printed. 

The new driver software is much nicer since it seems to print mac generated
figures with no modification in the laserprep file (prolog file), but only
if you print the figures on their own.

With the previous driver I found out that the only way  to get the included
figures printed was  by using an  old laserwriter (maybe  it has the oldest
postscript interpreter).  All other laserwriters  in the  Dept. won't print
the figure and leave a blank space where it should be.

With the newer version of the driver (appledict 70) none of the printers
will print the figure, some will hang, others abort the job.

Has anybody modified the laserprep (version 6.0, appledict 70) so that it
prints mac generated figures included in LaTeX documents using psfig?

Thanks very much,
