i finally got around to messing with my laser writer driver so that it
always generates a postscript file and always puts the file in a specific
folder.  this of course leads me to other questions:

1) i would like my new postscript generator driver to specify that it DOES
NOT need appletalk.  i know, i know, just click and accept the way things
are.  but, come on, i've gone this far...

2) i was playing in resedit with the laser printer dialog.  i made the
dialog box smaller and removed some of the options from the bottom of the
dialog box.  i could no longer print.  in fact the system would lock up
(though the mouse continued to be active).

3) if i select a laserwriter driver via chooser, why do i need to go
through the page setup from finder when i go back to my imagewriter driver?
if i don't, i get a number of line feeds at the top of my printout that i
don't expect.  as soon as i use the page setup from finder, everything
works fine.
