You can do this under Windows and MacOS by installing a PostScript printer driver, choosing this printer as your target from Mathematica, and then specify that the driver write its ouput to a file rather than a printer port. You can download the generic PostScript driver directly from Adobe's website: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html#Printer The X Window version of Mathematica emits PostScript when printing, so it suffices just to click on the print dialog radio button that directs its output to a file. -- P.J.
