If that's the case then there's a utility called DLPS (it's only in Beta release) that's available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cco.caltech.edu in /pub/apple2/util that is supposed to download postscript from a GS to a LaserWriter (I haven't tried it myself because I don't have a LaserWriter). It might do what you're looking for. As far as color goes, not even the LaserWriter drivers on the Mac handle color because color is Postscript Level 2 and Apple doesn't support it yet, if you buy a color postscript printer, the printer company has to supply you with a driver.
