I recently grabbed a program from America OnLine that is called AddLaserPrep,
(or something like that - I do not have it in front of me). Anyway, it
is suppose to read in a Command-F Postscript generated file and put into
it the correct LaserPrep dictionary with the correct edits. Since I do
not have a non-Apple Postscript printer, I cannot tell you how well it
works. I will be submitting it to comp.binaries.mac shortly since I 
did not see it on sumex.stanford.edu.
