In the Control Panel, open up Printers.  You should have a Postcript 
printer installed to whichever default port you use.  Click on the 
connect button and you'll get a list of ports to connect the PS printer 
to.  Choose file and click OK and exit.  From my experience, after 
printing the PS file to your hard drive. You can just type print 
<filename.ps> at a DOS prompt to print your file (make sure your fonts 
have been downloaded to the printer).  Hope this helps.
