Not True! If the postscript file use Adobe DSC, there are some postscript
utilities that allow you to extract particular pages from the postscript
file. I use the utilities to separate big postscript file(200+ pages) into
smaller size so that my colleagues can still use the printer and I don't
need to make sure that I am nearby when printer running out of paper if
I print it from Macintosh(If you did not refill the paper within the
timeout period, the job got terminated)
Also, I can read the postscript file with ghostview and print the pages
I marked. Of course, all of above will work when the postscript use
Adobe DSC.

BTW, Thanks for the person who provide postscript documents on omnigate.
However, those postscript files seem to be prepared for an black-on-while
(or white-on-black) laser printer engine(different type of engine from
my LaserWriter IIG). Is there another set for the LaserWriter IIG?
Or is there any trick that I can play with postscript? or any utilities
available to do this job?

Thanks!
