Summary: Here's how I do it (specific to Transcript)

I use the following:

      troff -Tpsc -rL8.5i -rW8i YourFile | psdit | psturn | lp -dPostScript

where 'psturn' is the following 2-line shell:

      sed -e '/^\/xi/a\
             63 72 mul 0 translate 90 rotate'

This relies on the current contents of the PostScript prologue used in
Transcript; it looks for the /xi definition and adds an extra line to it.
It's non-portable, and will break if they change the prologue, but it's
small and works.
