depends on what you want the file for.
printing creates a spool file
If you are spooling /usr/var/spool/printername
you can stop the printer in unix using lpc
use your command to print to the printer
then nab the spool file.

GPR(1) General Commands Manual GPR(1)
NAME
gpr - a graphical frontend for lpr.
SYNOPSIS
gpr [-h] [--help] [-P <printer>] [-J <job name>] [-r] [-n] [-p <flag>] [filename]...
DESCRIPTION
gpr is a graphical interface to lpr that provides for easy configuration of printer-specific options. gpr interfaces with a PostScript
printer's PPD file to create a user-interface of configurable options. Based upon user choice, the device-specific option code is then
inserted into the PostScript job and sent to the printer. This can be used to tell the printer to duplex or staple the print job, or tell
it what paper tray to draw paper from. NOTE: gpr will detect if the file to be print is postscript, and, if not, it will call a2ps to pre-
process it before sending it to ppdfilt and to lpr.
OPTIONS
gpr accepts the following options:
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-P Specify a destination printer
-d Enable debugging output
-J lpr option: Job name to print on burst page
-r lpr option: Remove the files upon completion of spooling
-n gpr option: Print the command line rather than executing the command
-p
gpr option: Use ppdfilt: 0 = Never, 1 = Always, 2 = with non-default PPD
