One of my bosses does prepress support, and I can ask about further details
from him if you want, but here's my impression: just make a PDF. There are
lots of utilities, drivers, print queuers, and RIPs that will take a PDF
just as easily as PS. Also, most devices that can take PS directly can take
PDFs (at least at the high end). PDF is, after all, essentially postscript
with much of the redundancy removed. Hence the term 'distiller' for Adobe's
old ps->pdf product.
At least that's my understanding. Don't take it as gospel. :-)

: Subject: Create PostScript file from dynamic pages or query outputs
:
:
: Hello list - google search surprisingly didn't give me what I needed...
: I am probably asking or looking for the wrong things.
: The simple - cut and dry question is:
: Take graphics and variables - write all content to postscript and
: email it.
:
: What I am doing -
: I need to have a user fill out some options, collect his information,
: display a page - combination of his form and some queried content from
: an access database. All said and done - in the background I need to take
: a well designed page with graphics and variables - write to a postscript
: file and email as an attachment. I can create a temporary page as a cfm
: page and maybe do a print type function - but not sure ho to do this or
: where to start. it is on a virtual server at an ISP host - hopefully
: that doesn't limit me.
:
: I just thought of 1 thing - Maybe instead of emailing the postscript
: file I can do maybe a TCP/IP print - and have some process just catch
: the print stream?
:
: Any direction, samples, tutorials would be very helpful. I am not sure
: if I am overthinking this or not thinking of the right process.
: Thanks,
: Jason
