Humm, it seems that this program doesn't bypass the printer driver.
I've just read the program documentation:

S_Run opens the PostScript file for input. We use the Standard C I/O 
functions on the PostScript file because they are convenient, but we 
must use Winders-specific functions for the printer. *We send the 
PostScript data to the printer as ``raw'' data, so we must open the 
printer with OpenPrinter*, tell Winders that we're printing a document 
with StartDocPrinter, & then ensure that the printer is in PostScript 
mode. All that printer preparation happens in S_StartPrinter.
