If you have it spooled on a VAX terminal server queue or attached directly 
to a VAX port, you can use the 4DDN (SGI's Decnet) in order to issue a 
copy of your file to the laser printer: 

% dncp myfile.dat vax::lta9944: 

which is basically starting a FAL on the VAX which acts as printer daemon. 
4DDN release 2.0 will contain a more comfortable command but the method 
is the same. 

Hope this helps,
