I'd like to render a postscript image on a NeXT machine in the 300dpi
mode, and then grab it before it's printed, so I can convert the
bitmap to postscript form and print it on a LaserWriter.

You ask, _why_ would I want to do such a thing?  Simple - the
Laserwriter has this teensy memory, and I want to print stuff that
takes more.  So I figure that if I image it on a NeXT, and then print
it on a LWII, it'll work.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
