Before System 7.0, I would dump out a postscript file by holding 'K' after clicking OK in the print dialog. Then I would send the postscript produced to a postscript printer. After installing System 7.0, this strategy doesn't work as the postscript file produced by clicking on the 'postscript' button in the Print dialog box produces a huge postscript file (as it now includes LaserPrep, Fonts etc.). This causes the printer to either run out of memory or take a long time to print, making this route unreasonable for non-trivial printing jobs. I would appreciate it if anybody could suggest any better printing technique.
