If you don't know the PostScript output filename (i.e., you
didn't set it to something in your code or you don't have a
variable that contains the name), then the chances
approach about 100% that its name is "idl.ps". It will
be located in the current directory:

CD, Current=thisDirectory
Print, thisDirectory

Cheers,

David
