Apple LaserWriter driver
(hidden printing)
Information:
Do you know that every single postscript file that you print on a Macintosh using the Print To File function actually secretly puts your email address in the file? Pretty scary, isn't it?
Problem:
Apple LaserWriter driver embeds the user email address within the postscript.
Product Effected:
All postscript file printed via print to file in MacOS.
(Tested on 8.6 and 9.0)
Download:
You can download Strip A Post from:
(Strip A Post is a nice little utility that removes that piece of personal information from those postscript files)
