  This particular trick is an Apple developer secret.  The gentleman who told
me about this said it was used for debugging the printer driver, and was NOT
supported... in other words, it could go away in the next release (or maybe
it already has; I haven't used it for months).
  The trick is, just after you've clicked on "OK" to print (from the system
Printer window), type Option-D.  (The Option key is that funny looking key with
the ()_()
     |_|
    () () on it.)  It'll be sent to a file in the current folder, the name of
which eludes me (I think it resembles POSTSCRIPT.001 or something).

  Personally, I think that it SHOULD be supported, and should be documented.
Of course, I don't have much influence in this area, nor do I use a Mac...

        Just after you click on the OK button under the print menu,
        press the Command (flower/Apple) key and the F key, i.e. a
        Command-F. This will capture the PostScript in a file on the
        the desktop called PostScript0; the next file will be
        PostScript1, etc. A Command-H combined key will produce a
        file that contains the LaserPrep PostScript and the application
        specific PostScript.

        NOTE: You need to be quick in typing the Command-F after clicking
              the OK button. You might try holding down the Command and
              F keys before releasing the mouse button.

                Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

(2) I've always heard it as "Command-F" to dump the PostScript to a file
WITHOUT the LaserPrep prologue, and "Command-K" to dump WITH the prologue.
And that's the way it's worked on my "classic" Mac and SE, and the Pluses
and IIs at work from System 3.2 through System 6.0.2

[cloverleaf] [F] = just the "munged" bastardized QuikDraw that looks like PS
                   smells like PS, and feels likes PS but ain't really PS

[cloverleaf] [K] = the above with LaserPrep appended to the front .... BURP!

Have fun.
