- I suggest you use the excellent 'apsfilter' package. This is a set of
- lpr filters that will automatically detect the type of file being
- printed and convert it first to PostScript and then via ghostscript
- into whatever format your printer requires. You can then just use lpr
- for pretty well any program, let alone executor, and get properly
- printed output! It's pretty good even if you have a PostScript
- printer, since it formats ascii text beautifully, and will also cope
- with DVI, GIF, JPEG and all sorts of other things given that you have
- suitable conversion software (DVIPS, pbmplus, and so on).
