I don't know if this will help (I don't use Quark), I do produce Postscript
files via AS thru other apps. I use the Adobe PostScript printer driver 8.x,
which will give one a "Virtual Printer" desktop printer that just produces
PS files (and is somewhat configurable). Under OS 9, you can use the Desktop
Printer Manager to designate it:
-- change default Desktop Printer
set the DTP_name to "Virtual Printer"
tell application "Desktop Printer Manager"
set the default printer to desktop printer the DTP_name
end tell

Good luck with the postscript file part...it's some strange voodoo.
I'm not
sure if anyone ever gets it to work reliably and consistently...
