Amanda, may I recite you the first rule of news reading? Don't
believe anything you read.

When I was using Interleaf, the only way to get something printed
was actually capturing the PostScript file. Of course, the manual
deosn't tell you how to do this, but it is relatively easy to hack
a shell script to do the work, since the above mentioned deamon is
in fact lpd. There is nothing that prevents you to use this filter
directly.
