As long as the printer isn't powered off, or crashed (remember, there's a
computer in there!), and you are all using the same LaserWriter/Laser Prep
versions, they don't need Laser Prep. It used to be possible (haven't tried
this in years) to have just LaserWriter on a disk - if Laser Prep is needed
and can't be found, the Mac will spit out the current system disk and ask for
a disk with Laser Prep on it. This used to work with the 3.1, 3.3, and 4.0
laser drivers...
