PostScript: How to Print an Image to a Disk


How to print a PostScript image "to disk" rather than to a printer:

1. Use the Chooser to select a LaserWriter.

2. Choose the Print... command in the File menu.

3. Click OK.

4. Hold down (don't release them yet) the Command key, and either
- the K key (to dump a PostScript image with LaserPrep), or
- the F key (to dump PostScript without LaserPrep).
Hold the keys down until you see the Print Status dialog box.

The Print Status dialog box will say something like "Creating PostScript
File." When the program is through printing, you will find a text file in
your System folder called "PostScriptn," where n is a number.
