Subject: how can I debug laser-printing problem without a laser printer?

I'm trying to debug a bug in which my application crashes when printing
on several kinds of laser printers.  It works fine on an ImageWriter.
Rather than asking for ideas on what could be happening (though any
such ideas would be welcome), I'd like to find a way to debug it without
having to find a laser printer.

Can anyone think of a way to make a laser printer driver think I have a
real laser printer connected?  I'm willing to go to a fair amount of
effort, since I'd rather not debug this on someone else's machine, and
the application's supposed to ship Real Soon Now.

Please email me, and I'll post a summary.  Thanks in advance.
