Help!

I need to know if there is any way of capturing Postscript output
from a Macintosh into a file. I'd like to take such a file, upload
it to a VAX, and pump it out to a Postscript device.

Specifics: I have a school newspaper being produced on a 1MB Macintosh
Plus with PageMaker 2.0. I can build myself a cable if need be
to hook into the Mac's serial port (but I suppose it wouldn't work
in AppleTalk mode). The printers I can use are a QMS PS800+ and
some lesser engines.

Any suggestions appreciated! (And time is running rather short.)

Thanks very much!
