If you check this box, and hit "Print," a dialog box comes up and asks you where you want to save the file and with what name (a standard Save... dialog box). I am using Laser-Fix with the LW 5.2 driver that I have, but I am not sure if it will work with the 6.0.x drivers. Can anyone prove/disprove this? Also, someone posted a patch, by using ResEdit, that will uncover a "Print PostScript to Disk" check box (like the one provided by Laser-Fix) from the LW driver. Can anyone re-post this? If I remember correctly, I picked up Laser-Fix off of sumex. | Jeff Wolman | I am NOT Mad as a Hatter! | | (314)862-2900/889-5397 | My swinging from the rafters is not | | jdw4374@cec2.wustl.edu | actually happening; it just looks | | AOL: JeffW15 | like it.
