Try this page, written by our own Scott Robbins:

http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/jpninpt.html

Go to the end of the document, there is a brief section on printing.

When you have printing under control, and are ready to tackle IME stuff, this
document will be *very* helpful.

If you still have questions, ask them here. I for one will be happy to help,
and I suspect that I am not the only one.

Now this, mon ami, is the correct way to ask a question on this list! Others
should take note of how the OP

1. Googled
2. Explained exactly what he has tried, and posted the (albeit stupid)
   Ghostscript error.

Paul, with your attitude, I think you will enjoy this list! :)
