I run Windows/286 on my machine with a TOPS "AppleTalk compatible" card and
the TOPS network software.  With the netprint software resident you do not
need to print to a file.  I setup the Postscript printer to be connected to
LPT1:  in the control panel.  The TOPS resident program traps the calls to
the printer interrupt (INT 17) and routes the output over the network.  This
works not only for Windows but for any program which generates Postscript
output and does not write directly to the printer hardware port.
