I apologize in advance for bringing this topic to the forum again, but 
I can't seem to find the information I need.  I need to output my 
print files to a Postscript file.  I remember seeing something about 
this on the net a while back, but I didn't take notice.  Since it seems a 
pretty common procedure by people on the net I thought Apple 
would be able to help me.  Apple sent me to my supplier -- which
is Falcon Microcomputers and the technician said "It can't be done".
Are they right?  The manuals sure don't address this issue.

As a side question, has anyone experienced a large number of 
failures from Mac II's on delivery.  Last week we received 5 
Macintosh II's and I have currently installed 4.  So far I have had 
one bad keyboard, what looks like a bad power supply and a monitor 
that shakes when it gets warm -- approximately 2 1/2 hours.  I have 
probably installed over 100 Zenith 248's and have never had a 
failure on installation.  I was wondering whether this is an Apple 
problem or are our supply people dropping the machines on 
purpose?
