This is dead wrong.  I will post a small application that selects the
LaserWriter as the current printer even if there is no LaserWriter in
sight.  The <control-K> "feature" then works as advertised.  You seem
to be confused by the fact that 'Chooser' will not let you select an
inexistant printer...

All that is needed to generate the PostScript code is on the Mac (the
Laser Prep file and the LaserWriter driver).
