After you click OK in the print dialog, WAIT for the box "Printing pages 1 to 10"
to come up.  THEN hold down F (or command-F) until "Creating Postscript file"
comes up.  You have to be fast, or you will get "Searching for LaserWriter".
(I may have the text of these boxes slightly wrong).

Apparently, the new MacDraw II 1.1 allows you to do some editing
between the time you click "OK" and the time printing starts!!
Surely this is a bug, not a feature.
