Hi,

I don't know about the quality you'll get but as a linux user, you can
get your hands on poppler-utils (at least for Ubuntu, and I'd assume
several other distributions) which contains the pdftops application.

Also, considering that so many printers out there are Postscript by
nature, you can often "fake it" by using an application that
understands PDF to "print" it to a file as if printing to a Postscript
printer, and let that engine do the work for you...
