In Os 8.6,
I could set up a HP design jet 750 large format printer , by installing the driver and then selecting that printer in the Laserwriter8 section of Chooser Then I could set up the page and do print - send to file a print to file, this file could then be sent to a print house to print either as esp or what ever it was

can I do this in OS X.3 and how?


In the Print dialog, click on the "Copies and Pages" popup menu. One of the menu items is "Output Options". Choose this, and you will see a checkbox which, when clicked, allows you to save the print job to a file. Your options are PDF (as if there weren't already enough ways to save as a PDF) or Postscript. This gives you the same functionality as the Chooser.
