Can I save EPS/PS to disk, and if so, is it reasonably easy to get it printed out on the laserprinter once I get to the Sun... if you've got a nearby friendly sparcstation, it would really be worth looking into a little ethernet. if you do that, you'll be able to print to the sun's laserwriter directly. if you really need to go the floppy route, that's also quite straightforward. hit 'save' in the print dialog & it dumps the ps in a file. carry it to the sun & lpr it. -- .mike.
