Printing Postscript from script

Hi all, 

I need to generate Postscript files from my InDesign files using a Applescript. I need postscript files because I need to put the Postscript files through our distiller, this produces better postscripts then the export function of Indesign.  

Is there some way to script printing to Postscript (printing to file)? 

To be more specific, I want to create somewhat like the following: 

tell Application "InDesign 1.5"    print active document print no dialog using "MyPrintStyle" end tell 

After running this script I should end up with a postscript file.  

I tried creating a print style that prints to a virtual printer. But that does not seem to work. Can somebody please help? 

Many Thanks,
