Looking for a postscript driver (generic?) for Vista

I've got some postscript printers (Apple personal laserwriter NTR) on an XP LAN
and worry that there's no solution to drive them from a new machine w/Vista.
Any help???

If the driver is included on the XP CD (and you have an XP CD), you can
install those drivers on Vista using the Have Disk option.

Why don't you try to setup a generic HP PS printer and then change the port
selection to file? I am not sure if this would work, but logic seems to say
it should.
