Steve, Print your Quark file to "File", which makes a postscript, then distill using the preferred settings of your printer. When making the postscript, you can ad the marks under page setup in the "Document" and "Setup" tabs. Usually printers like 12 pt offsets with .125" bleed. Then choose the acrobat distiller printer description and add 1" to your trim size to come up with paper width and height to allow for bleed and marks. You should get specific info from you printer though. They may even be able to send you their Quark Print style and Distiller option, which would automate some of those settings.
