        Another solution is to set the PostScript driver to save as
file, and then switch back to the MacOS and use the LaserWriter
driver of your choice...
        Also, I was looking at the WinMac and MacWindows sites, and HP printers
specifically will NOT accept binary files. [I believe it was on the
"Unsolved Mysteries" page...]

        Cheers!
