Anyone out there know where I can get (or buy) a GKS to PostScript
translator?

In all probability, any decent commercial GKS implementation
will support one or more PostScript printers for hardcopy.

Check your documentation for hardcopy output or contact the
supplier of the GKS implementation.


A really good implementation will also allow you to create
an encapsulated PostScript file, for use with other programs,
such as word processors.

[I can say this, since I was responsible for implementing the
drivers for a SIGGraph Core-based package some years ago, and
that's what I had to do, in response to market demand.]
