: Simple.  Select the Printer Setup, Setup and choose EPS File and enter

I dont think what you say here will work.  If you want a postscript file 
you must set up a printer to be a postscript printer and use connect to 
connect it to FILE:

When you print to this printer it will ask you for the filename you want to
print it to.
