I'm sure this gets asked once a week, but my memory span is down to
three days.  Here's what I want to do:

1. Capture the PostScript produced by printing a document from MS Word
   3.0X on my Mac
2. Send the PostScript file to a Unix system
3. Send the PostScript to a serially-attached LaserWriter
4. Enjoy my properly-printed document.

I can do 1) by using Cmd-K or Cmd-F, 2) using Mac/IP, and 3) using
lpr.  4) I can't do because all I get is curious error messages on the
piece of paper.  I get different error messages with Cmd-K (includes
LW Prep) than with Cmd-F, but no printout.  I'm using LW Prep 5.0,
4.3BSD Unix, a Mac II, . . .

Surely people do this sort of thing.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,
