For the people who are using System 4.1/Finder 5.5, and the LaserWriter and
LaserPrep drivers that come with it, and aren't using the excellent maclaser
utility that was shipped out with paintps on the comp.sources group, you'll
be pleased to know this:

When saving the PostScript & LaserPrep output of a document with the new
LaserPrep/LaserWriter driver, using the Command-K option, you can upload the
PostScript file directly to your Unix machine, and send it to the
LaserWriter via lpr with NOTHING but a "%!" preceding it!  No more dumping
in various lines so that that everything isn't printed in Courier... Laser
Fonts are preserved with the new LaserPrep.

However, the LaserPrep included in your document (remember, we used
Command-K, not Command-F) probably sits in the LaserWriter's memory until
shut off.  A much more elegant and pleasing method is to use the laserprep
and maclaser script from the "paintps" posting to send stuff to the
LaserWriter.  Still, it does the job...
