It is possible to include (encapsulated) postscript in a tex document as
"special" provided you have a good modern dvips (e.g. Radical Eye, I think),
i.e. it passes the postscript onto the printer with little modification. 

But if you want to send it to a non-PostScript printer then you've got
problems. The program would have to be a big and complicated as GhostScript to
handle PostScript in general.  Maybe if you know the ps file will only use a
subset of PostScript you might be able to do something, but I don't know of any
such program... I am interested in something like that, though.  If you'd like
to tell me what sort of PS files you need to be able to process, I might be
able to write something.
