Getting PostScript from MacDraw

I posted this earlier, but it didn't seem to make it to the net.  Anyway...

I need to get MacDraw or MacDrawII to dump PostScript files so I can
include them in TeX files on a Unix host.  I know that command-F and
command-K are supposed to work---HOWEVER, our Macs are networked
together and use a fileserver and common spooler for the laserwriter,
and that somehow screws up command-F/K.  I get a message saying
something like "printing could not be completed."

Is there any program, either for the Mac or for Unix, that can take a
file that contains a MacDraw/MacDraw II document and spit out the
PostScript?  This would save me a huge amount of time either
cutting-and-pasting or tracking down a Mac that I *can* get PostScript from.

	Thanks.
	Roy
