Martin Wurthner's really the guy to answer this but until he comes along..

What version of Easiwriter are you using? With Easiwriter 9.01 I don't
appear to need an active Postscript printer.  It just produces a PDF no
problem from the Save dialogue.  

!Draw would be a different matter.  If you intended to produce a PDF from
Draw then you would have to have some means of producing a Postscript file
and from that the PDF.  There are various methods.  I still tend to use the
Postscript printer to print to disk and then use RiScript to produce the
PDF but there are other methods including !PrintPDF and Ghostscript. 
Martin Wurthner's site has lots of info on this:

I've probably missed lots out but hope this helps!
