Based on your description, I would think that you are waiting too long to
press clover-F/K.  Usually when dumping a PS file this way, the LaserWriter
driver never gets as far as "Looking for LaserWriter..."

I usually do this:
Click on the OK button, but don't let up yet.
Press and hold clover-F/K.
Let up on the OK button.

As far as I know, this dumping to a postscript file stuff is not documented
anywhere.  I also cannot recall where I first heard about it.
