Do the following-

o   copy the LaserWriter driver from the System Tools disk to your
    */system/drivers directory.

o   rename the driver at anything but LaserWriter (e.g.  Postscript)

o   you can now choose the driver from the Control Panel NDA/Direct
    Connect CDev

o   when printing, hold down OA-F when you press okay, this will
    create Postscript files in your */system/drivers directory.

Hope this helps.
