Assuming you are working with Windows 3...

Configure, using the control panel, the printer that you 
will eventually be printing to and set it to "FILE" instead of 
an LPT or COM port.

When you go to print, choose the printer on "FILE" from the 
printer choices in the "PRINT" dialogue box. Set your options 
and click on "OK". It will go to print, as per usual, but just 
before the data starts to flow, you will be prompted for a 
filename to print to.

There are a number of considerations to take into account when 
doing this, most are not a problem if you are using 
PostScript (pardon my ignorance, is the TI microlaser 
PostScript?). Keep your Windows manual handy when you do it and 
you should be okay.
