	If you want to output PostScript just pick one of the common
PostScript printers.  You can then print to a file to generate a PostScript
file.

	I have a LaserJet 6P without internal PostScript.  Their list does
not include any of the LaserJet 6 series but the LaserJet 5 is REAL close.
If I pic the PostScript version instead of the standard version, gs gets
called by the spooler scripts to process the PostScript.
