  I copy this procedure from the manual for PostScript.
  The University of Texas Computer Center published
  the manual(4 pages).  Please give thanks to them.

  Follow this procedure step by step.

--Select the "Chooser" item from the apple menu.
--When the Chooser window appears, find the icon labeled
  "LaserWriter" and click on it.
--If you are running MultiFinder, you may see two radio buttons
  in the Chooser window for Background Printing: "On" and "Off".
  If so, click on the "Off" button.
--Click in the close box in the upper left-hand corner of the
  Chooser window. The window will disappear.
--Now, open the document you want to print.
--Once the document is open and its contents are visible on
  your screen, select the "Page Setup" item from the "File" menu.
  In the window that appears, check the settings and correct
  them if necessary. Finally, click on the "OK" button to close
  the window.
--If your document was not originally fomatted for the LaserWriter,
  look it over. If you are using a word processor(like Microsoft
  Word) that requires you to explicitly repaginate, do so now.
  Check the position of the page break and any other formatting
  elements.
--Select the "Print" item from the "File" menu. In the window
  that will appear, make certain the settings are correct.
--If you are using a program other than PageMaker, click on the
  "OK" button to begin producing the PostScript file. Immediately
  afterward, hold down the f key until you see the message
  "Creating PostScript(r) File".
--If you are using PageMaker, click on the "OK" button while
  holding down the option key. In the window that appears, turn
  on the "Print PostScript to disk" option by clicking on its
  check-box. Turn off the "Include Aldus Prep" option by clicking
  on its check-box. Click on the "OK" button. You will see the
  message "Writing PostScript(r) to file...."
--When the window disappears, the POstScript print file has been
  created.

  The PostScript print file will be stored either in the same
  folder as the application from which you were printing, or in
  the System Folder. The print file will be named "PostScriptN",
  where N represents a unique number 0, 1, 2, ....
