If you have Windows 3.0 then you can use Paintbrush to do this:

1. Install a PostScript printer configured to the FILE: port.

2. Load the image into Paintbrush.  Note: your display must have enough 
   resolution to display the picture.  I.E. you can't load a 256 color PCX
   onto a VGA without losing color information.

3. Choose File.Print.  And press OK.  At the file prompt type in the name
   you want for the PostScript version.

Hope this helps.
