Your Postscript file should have a .ps extension and you can lpr it directly
to you PS printer.

We generate PS files from our FrameMaker system, put them on an MS-DOS or
Mac disc and take them to a PS service bureau for 2540 dpi output.  We use
this in place of set type for our magazine, brochures and other literature.

Good Luck
