Try out the small and simple utility "DropPS". You simply configure it for
a printer on your network and drop any PostScript files on it to send them
to that printer. You can find it at any info-mac mirror site in the
"Print" directory such as:

< ftp://mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu/pub/info-mac/Print/drop-ps-113.hq x>

or alternatively from the Bare Bones Software ftp site:

<ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/bbsw/drop-ps-113.hqx>

Hope this helps!
