The LaserWriter did, however, show up it's little orange light (which I think means a postscript error ??). I created the file holding down f when printing from MacDraw II v1.1 . What can I say but help ! > two ideas: 1. send another mac graphic (macdraw) from the application to the printer first; the cmd-f file doesn't include the laserprep file and you need that downloaded before sending a cmd-f file. 2. sometimes you need to issue the PS SHOWPAGE command at the end of the download; SendPS has this as an option under one of it 2 or 3 menus. --Len P.S.
