Well, *if* you can get RedMon to work with your version of Windows, then 
you can use RedMon to send the PostScript to Ghostscript. But you will 
have to reconfigure RedMon.

Instead of using the pdfwrite device to create a PDF file, you will have 
to use the mswinpr2 device, which is (I think) what I put in my first 
reply.

That will create a PostScript file, send it to the RedMon port which 
wiill start Ghostscript, render the PostScript to a bitmap, then load 
the bitmap into the Windows GDI, and then tell the printer canvas to 
render it.

I'd be kind of surprised if that produces better quality than simply 
printing direct to the pritner, but its up to you.
