Subject: how to print a pre-existing postscript to Laserwriter?

From time to time, we receive files off the net that contain
documents and pictures in postscript format.  Printing these
files is no big deal on a UNIX or DOS box:  I just cat the
file directly to the LaserWriter.  But I am not clear
how to do it on a Macintosh.  My office-mates back east who
are on the macs don't know enough to figure it out, and I don't
have a mac or time to experiment.  I called Apple and they 
said I had to buy a program called PS Dump from Adobe.  Imagine
that! having to buy a program to do raw I/O!

Isn't there a simpler way?
