Ummm.... It's usually pretty simple to setup a fake postscript printer.
(Anyways if a printer can't handle postscript, then it's not a printer worth messing around with.)
For instance it's easy in Win95 even, just setup a printer and when it asks you for a driver select a printer that says something about being the postscript version. Then set your regular printer as the primary one and everyonce of a while select the postscript one and "print to file" to make a postscript document.
Once you have a postscript document you can turn it into a PDF file by using Ghostview utilities. It's pretty nice, much better then dealing with .doc files, which are mostly crap when it comes to formatting and such.
Of course all you poor bastards stuck with Windows there is a nice website setup so you can do what I can do just by openning a terminal and typing a couple words down.
convert PS to PDF
Or you can just use OpenOffice instead and use it's "make PDF" button.
