	Using command-K and command-F will stil work. Butt as it has been 
mentioned before, you can modify the laser driver so that a disk file is an
option. Briefly:
	Make a copy of the laserwriter driver.
	Using ResEdit, open DITL 8191 as a template (in ver. 1.1 of resedit
and earlier, use  open as  -then select  ditl  from the list.)
	Scroll down to the bottom, you will find an edit field that says
Disk File. Above this are the four edit fields that determine the position
of the checkbox, they are initially all 0, thus the option doesn't exist.
	Change the four zeros to 49 320 65 400 (or any other reasonable value)
	Save and quit.
 	Rename this driver uniquely (not laserwriter, thats taken)
	Drag to the system folder.
	It now can be selected with the chooser.
	The print dialog box will now have a  Disk File  checkbox.
