I just found this solution because I was to lazy to read the
win32all ducomentation ....

At first I use pdflib to generate pdf-files (which can be stored,
send by email..) and then used ghostscript to convert pdf to ps.

The only "problem" I have, is that ghostscript opens a window, even
if I use it from the commandline...

Greetings, Uwe.
