I can't seem to get this method to work. I have System Version 6.02
and I am using WriteNow and MacWrite when I did this. I also tried
option-F too. Is there a better way to do this? Has anybody written
a "printer" driver that prints to a file instead of a printer so that
I can take the postscript output and print it on, say, a Sun with lpr.
Thanks for any info.
