Message-ID: Date: 8 Dec 90 06:58:46 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 22 X-Unparsable-Date: Fri Dec 7 90 at 20:05:18 (EST) Mike, to print to disk using the Laserwriter driver you will need to RENAME the driver (I rename mine after the version number) so that LASERWRITER becomes LASERWRITER3.1 (the latest version) in the DRIVERS folder of your boot disk. Now you will need to reboot and then select that driver (Laserwriter3.1) from the DIRECT CONNECT CDEV. Once all that is done, load your document and set up the page as you desire. Now, to print to disk HOLD DOWN the OPEN APPLE F keys while simultaneously CLICKING on OKAY in the PRINT dialog. This will put a text file (called PostscriptGSxx...xx being a two digit number) in your DRIVERS folder. This file can then be sent to a Laserwriter (or other Postscript capable printer) On the Mac side you will need the Font downloader program to send the text file to the printer. Send the file (not a font). Hope this helps you. INET: /\_/\ kimbrennan@gnh-starport.cts.com / o o \ America Online: KimBrennan ( v ) ______ /// \\\ \\ ( / /\\ | || |\___/ / )) /// /// /// (( )) ~
