This is normally done when initing the printer. However, when I want this PostScript file to be printed on another printer, or when I want to preview it using PostScript previewers, there's no such thing as LaserPrep. How can I create a PostScript filech is suitable for downloading to non-LaserWriter printers? Does there exist something like a 'fake' LaserPrep (or emulator) for this purpose? Thanks in advance for any help.
