FAQ: FAQ: A: There is no working lp or lpr system as you would find on FAQ: UNIX. FAQ: FAQ: Jason Tishler has written a couple of messages that explain FAQ: how to use a2ps (for nicely formatted text in PostScript) and FAQ: ghostscript (to print PostScript files on non-PostScript FAQ: Windows printers).
