One easy way to this in a way that works if you are not sure you have a 
ps driver installed is to download Adobe's free PostScript printer 
driver from their web site and choose FILE: as the printer port.  If you 
don't have the FILE: device configured, choose LPT1: or anything and 
check the "Print to file" box in the Print dialog.

The Adobe driver has some nice features, like watermarks and 4-up 
printing.
