Actually, I've noticed that with LaserWriter 3.1, System 3.2, and Finder
5.3 (LaserPrep version unknown) I can generate the postscript file
by turning on AppleTalk with the control panel, then using the Chooser
DA to choose the LaserWriter and doing the usual command K.
The postscript file I get has the laserprep stuff prepended.
