If you can reach the print dialog, you can print to pdf or ps file from
_any_ application on Mac OS X (the left-most button is actually a popup
menu that allows you to select one of the various output options).
However, since IDL allegedly uses the X-Window system, rather than the
native system, I think you will not reach the standard print dialog. (I
prefer to use a Mac, but I'm stuck with Linux at work, so I've never
seen IDL under Mac OS X).

The PS header you showed suggests that the HP driver is acting up: the
first two lines indicate a PCL wrapper around the postscript. You may
want to remove those first two lines and try to convert again. Can you
try to print to some "generic" postscript printer?
