If you have a postscript printer, simply type lpr at the prompt.

If you have a postscript printer you can copy the file to the printer -- BUT only in a DOS window. Type

copy file.ps prn.

If you get garbage, either the printer is not a postscript printer, or there is garbage in the file. Edit the file and make sure it starts with something like

%!PS-Adobe-3.0

If not, delete everything above it.

1. Determine what the printer path is from the printer's properties. An example is \\Prt-ois-03\18622f1a.

2. Open an msdos window.

3. Go to the directory where you have saved the XXX.ps file.

4. In that directory, type copy XXX.ps printer path.

5. In this case, it is:

H:\ctsc>copy XXX.ps \\prt-ois-03\18622f1a

If you do not have a postscript printer, you should use Ghostscript. Details are available at http://www.gnu.org/software/ghostscript/ghostscript.html or http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/aladdin/index.html.
