Supposing you've installed Ghostscript (probably did, unless you went
out of your way to avoid it when installing RH), you can use the RH
printtool to configure your printer. This configuration will usually
(always???) configure a spooler that filters thru Ghostscript if its
input is Postscript, thereby converting it to something your printer
can handle.

So, if that is all setup, just do "lpr filename.ps" for whatever the
file's name is and it'll happen!
