G'Day all

How do I print to a postscript printer from, say, a Turbo Pascal
program? My PC programs haven't had to do this kind of printing
and the only environment I've used which had postscript was on Mac
where you just draw your image and the driver takes care of the
rest.

In a non-Windows environment, are there drivers available off the
shelf for Postscript, or libraries I can link to my code?

C or Pascal answers gratefully received.

I would also appreciate references to good books on this subject, 
so far my PC programming has been limited to database filters and
other "computational" problems, which didn't go anywhere near the
printer.

Thanks in Advance
