I have recently bought a MAC SE/30 for my home and have no printer.  I
want to be able to print to things out on the HP Laserjet (series 1)
at work connected to a Novell DOS server.  The way I see this
happening is to somehow configuring the programs I want to print with
to output HP Laserjet data/format/code [non-postscript] (I want to use
MS Word and PageMaker).  Then print to a file instead of any printer
port or such.  Later, download that file while I'm at work and simply
DOS copy it directly to the HP LaserJet (LPT1:).
 
The problems I have are:
 
    1) I need print drivers for an HP LaserJet to work with my MAC
       software.
 
    2) I need a program or init or somthing to redirect output to the
       printer port to a file instead.
 
    3) Will this actually work?
 
 
- A side note:  The MAC SE/30 I have was an upgrade kit so I don't
                have the 1.4M supper drive.  I have an 800k drive.
                Is there *** ANY *** way to read IBM 720k or even
                single sided DOS disks???  It would save me a lot
                of 2400 baud down/uploading.
 
If you have any insights or have any cdevs or inits to help me, please
leave me a message!!!  I'm sure others could make use of this same
such thing.
