Recently many people asked how to print Mac files on
a Laserwriter connected to a Unix computer.

This article explains how to set up your Unix system so
Postscript files created on your Mac by means
of clover-k (or clover-f) and sent to the Unix system (e.g. by
means of kermit) can be printed.

clover-f: create a postscript file without dictionary header.
clover-k: create a postscript file with dictionary header.

If you have a correctly installed Postscript printer on your
Unix system, you can add the following 2 lines to a file
created with clover-k:

%!
serverdict begin 0 exitserver

and the file can be printed.

You can print files created by clover-f by
adding these two lines and the dictionary header
(cut from a file created with clover-k)
on your Unix system.
This saves transmission time (about 30k smaller files).

An article in Comp.sys.sun will describe how to setup your unix
system when no Laserwriter is connected yet.
