Assuming the batch file cited above works for you (I don't have Windows
w/ TeX available at the moment to test), you can modify it to

@latex %1 && dvips "%~dpn1.dvi" && ps2pdf -dEmbedAllFonts=true -dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 "%~dpn1.ps"


to pass additional parameters to ps2pdf. Note that this has to be done
in the batch file, the TeXworks configuration is unchanged.
