Back in the day, I had PublishIt! crank out PostScript files that I'd upload
to an account at UNLV and print out on one of their printers.  I'd recommend
doing something similar: print to a file and transfer that file to your Mac
by whatever means the emulator provides.  Once it's there, you can either
send it to a PostScript-compatible printer (which is what I was doing) or
use something like Ghostscript to convert it to a PDF which can then be
loaded into Preview (or Adobe Reader, if you're so inclined) to send to just
about any printer.

It's been so long since I've used PublishIt! that I don't remember what
steps you need to take to generate a PostScript file from a document, but it
should be in the manual.
