- Is there any way that I can get to the postscript output that is being sent to
- a printer? I want to save it as a file, ftp it over to my Unix machine and
- print it from there. That printer is much faster and does double sided
- printing. I'd like general solution that I could use with any/all
- applications. Is something like a psuedo printer available that just creates a
- file of the postscript commands?
-
- The specific applications I'm using are Word 4.0, MacDraw II, and Frame. The
- frame stuff is easy, since I have Frame for Unix as well and can just send the
- Frame file itself to my Unix machine and print from there. Converting the Word
- files to Frame does not produce satisfactory results either.
-
- Any ideas? or is my approach wrong?
