[Mac OS X TeX] How to print postscript in MacOSX ?

[Bernard Knaepen]

<x-flowed>if you are printing through appletalk (as opposed to direct tcp/ip) 
then you need to use the command,

atprint [ printer-name [: printer-type [@ zone ] ] ] file.ps

You get more details by reading the man page (typing man atprint).
The name of the printer as registered by appletalk can be found with 
the command,
atlookup

Hope this helps,
Bernard.
