No problem, I do it all the time.  I cannot detect any loss of resolution.  
I do all my printing at school, and only use my little 9-pin to check 
alignment (Pagestream allows one to lighten the density of a printout, so 
I can check stuff fast).  I print PS to disk, then put it on a floppy and 
lpr it on a NEC (or Laserwriter, they both work).  I don't know about the 
>300dpi thing, if you find out please email or post.  Oh, by the way, there is 
no conversion, you just load them straight in.
