Don't know if you have a Kinko's nearby, but I just stopped in one the
other day to check into what my options are for print-on-demand and they
gave me a spiffy CD that contains a printer driver for their equipment.
Install the printer driver, print to it and it spawns a viewer (probably
some variation on PDF). They claim that what you see in their viewer is
what you'll get.
