We have a PostScript printer connected to our Silicon Graphics IRIS and
need some way of printing ordinary things like program listings and
outputs.  We've already got a dvi-to-ps for our TeX implementation and
a PostScript driver for our graphics package, so we don't need anything
fancy at all -- just some way of dumping an ASCII file to the LaserWriter.
(We do need to be able to print 130 characters across the page.)

A ready-to-run program (or as close as possible) would be nice.  We're a
bunch of theorists who are trying to figure out how to work a computer,
and so aren't competent to do a lot of debugging.

Yes, PostScript is overkill for simple things like this, but we can't afford
a second printer.  Thanks for whatever help you can provide.
