    Has anyone been successful in using the LaserWriter driver to print a
PostScript file to disk?  I now have access to a LW IINT at school on the VAX
and would like to be able to print out my Apple stuff.  I remember reading of
someone who was able to do this (I don't remember the magazine) but when I was
playing with a driver I had written to access the serial port, I was unable to
get the LaserWriter driver to run without an AppleTalk driver running as the
port.  If there isn't another way, would it be possible to write a port driver
that "pretended" to be an AppleTalk driver but instead wrote output to a disk
file.  I've written a number of drivers, so I can handle that part, I just
wanted to hear any comments on the best way of doing it before I go to all the
work.


       Thanks in advance,
