The original posting was a bit confusing to me but I believe
the question is how to get a file from the Apple LaserWriter
driver which is suitable for printing color on a color PostScript
printer which will be connected on another device besides the Mac.

The answer is: get LaserWriter driver 6.0 which comes on Apple's
Color Disk. This is available from Apple dealers and also includes
32 bit QuickDraw (which is not needed to take advantage of LW 6.0).
Note that LaserWriter driver 6.0 does not come with System 6.0.x

If you are using this driver you will see two radio buttons at the
bottom of the print driver which lets you select color/grayscale
or b/w output. Choose color/grayscale (the default I believe). Then
use the usual Command-K/Command-F (don't forget to turn off Print
Spooling first) combination to get a PostScript file. This file
is the one you want to transfer to your other system and send to
your color PostScript output device.

Hope this helps,
