Pressing Command-F should send the PostScript to the file
*/SYSTEM/DRIVERS/POSTSCRIPT.GS.  If it doesn't seem to be working,
make sure you have version 2.1 or later of the LaserWriter driver.

It's described in the System Disk 3.2 release notes.  Why would the
application need to be involved?  The driver is generating the
PostScript anyway.  It just saves it to disk instead of sending it to
the printer.
