The PostScript that the Macintosh LaserWriter drivers generate makes use of a
few commands defined in the file "Laser Prep".  When printing from a Mac, the
"Laser Prep" file is downloaded automatically.

If I remember correctly, the LaserWriter driver provides two keystrokes which
you can use to capture PostScript output.  One is COMMAND-F (as you describe)
and the other is COMMAND-K.  I believe that COMMAND-K is the one that creates
PostScript files containing both Laser Prep code and document-specific output.
So you might want to try printing files created with COMMAND-K...
