I guess you have WordPerfect 5.1 on IBM PC! However those comments
could apply for other machines.

1) You have to install the Postscript printer on your system from
   one of the installation diskette (Print menu, Select printer).
   I use currently the QMS PS 800 II.

2) After having selected that printer you will have to change the
   port number by specifying a file name (ex: output.ps) (Option
   3-Edit of Select printer).

3) Then every times you print you document the file 'output.ps'
   (postscript format) will be written to your disk.  

4) Finally you will have to transfer your file on the NeXT using
   diskette or any type of link (I use Procomm and Kermit(binary)
   or ftp).

I do that often and it works fine. What I view on my PC (option 6
of the Print menu) is what I get printed (also with pictures).
