 Saving multipage doc with Laserwriter 8.7 and opening with Ghostscript

Hi all:
[iMac DV SE OS9.0.4 LW 8.7 GS 5.5.0]

I thought this would be easy but I'm missing something here.
If I use LW 8.7 to create a postscript file, it appears as a desktop
printer file which GS cannot see.  If I save as an EPS, which GS can
see, I only get one page.

How can I use LW8.7 to create a multipage PS file that GS can then
process?

Do I need to tweak the file type or something?

Thanks
Geoffrey.

Answering my own question...

I had to set up a virtual printer.  To do this I used the Apple Desktop
Printer Utility to create a Translation(postscript) printer.  Seems to
do the job.

Thanks for my help :-)

Don't use the "Reply To" address for email.  It is a spam trap.

Instead replace "deadspam" with "auckland.ac" and "com" with ".nz"
