Well, I don't have the 6.0 LaserWriter driver to try this out, but there was a
tip posted a while back (I'm not sure it was here) that points out the fact
that someone was thinking of us poor users.  There is actually a "Print to
Disk" check box in the LaserWriter 5.2 driver!  
hange in the window.


1.  With ResEdit, open the "LaserWriter" file.
2.  Find and open DITL #8191.  This is the LaserWriter "Print..." dialog.
3.  Using the "DITL" menu, select item number 22.  You will not notice any
    change in the window.
4.  Without clicking anywhere else, select "Open..." from the File menu.  This
    will put up that standard DITL Item editing window.  You will notice that
   the bounding rectangle of this item is 0,0,0,0.  Change it to 0,0,20,60 or
    something like that.  Close the editing window.  You will notice that
behind the word "LaserWriter" in the upper left there is now a button
labelled "Disk File."
5.  Grab that button (actually it's a checkbox), move it where you wish, and
  adjust the size to suit your fancy.
6.  Close, save, yada yada yada

Now, when you want to "print to disk," you will be able to simply check the
"Disk File" box, click "OK," and kick back...

  This was posted in July, and re-iterated on a local BBS.  It works GREAT on
the 5.2 driver, and apparently the one just previous to 5.2.  As I say, I
don't have 6.0 to try it, but it might be worth a go.
  The big question is, of course, will THAT file include the LaserPrep?
