I've never had any trouble with this.  Just set Printer Options the same
as you would for a local postscript printer, then use Print File instead
of Print Printer.  The only difference should be that the POSTSCRIPT.INI
file is sent automatically ahead of the document when you Print Printer
but it is not included when you Print File.  If you want to send the
file to a different printer you must send POSTSCRIPT.INI ahead of it
at least once - the definitions remain in the printer until it is turned
off (perhaps a bad idea, but that's a different problem).
