Printing to a postscript file

I don't own a printer and every time I go to use someone else's laserwriter,
I have to transport applications and fonts along with the document.
Is there a simple way to just dump all the postscript code (including font
information) to a single file which I can easily download to the printer?

I've been told that typing various command key combinations while printing
will dump to a postscript file on disk, but it seems that there must be
a laserwriter selected in the chooser in order for this to work.  Is there
a way to trick the system into thinking that I have a laser hooked up?  Or
is there a simpler way?

Please respond directly to my account through e-mail.  Thanks
