Me too!!
 We've got a MicroExplorer (MacII) conected with an EtherCard to 
our network of Suns. Connected to the network there is a Laserwriter 
Plus and a LaserwriterII. It's a shame we cannot print anything!!

We can transmit files esasily from the Mac to the Suns (using the 
MicroExplorer software), so I can save the postscript code into a file
(Crtl-K or Crtl-L), transmit it to the Sun net and... 

What do I do with it? The Laserwriter doesn't like it, it seems that 
it needs the LaserPrep resident in the printer. I don't want to 
load LaserPrep (at least not resident) because it would upset
ALL TeX users (almost everybody).

Is there any program in the mac or under UNIX that can take a Mac
postcript and put it in a format suitable for the laserwriter?

Can anybody help or give suggestions??

As Lance said,

Thanks,
