Can this be done by modifying the v6.0 laserwriter driver with
ResEdit?  In particular, can't you just change the STR resource #-8191
from "Postscript" to ".AOut" or ".BOut", which causes the driver to
write the postscript to the modem or printer serial port at 9600 baud?
Details appeared in a recent comp.sys.mac.misc message about printing
postscript to a file or a serial port.  Or look in:
