   The fullWrite box specifically says HardDisk required, Personally I put
FW on the fileserver, then run from a hard disk as the startup disk, but this
annoys me also as it would be nice if I didn't have to do all the temp file
stuff just to print. 
  One workaround is Glue from insignia solutions. They will let you print to
a file (saves the quickdraw commands) then print or cut and paste that file.
