I am trying to print color .ps files. (Not PDF files). When I set up a local printer to file and use the Generic driver, I get no color. Without purchasing an application, where can I find a color postscript driver to use for this purpose?

I found one myself at:

Works like a champ.

Don't use the generic driver for any real printer; use the correct
named driver for your printer.

PostScript files are device dependent, that is, they need to
be adapted for the target printer. Even if you don't have that
printer yourself, you must create PS for a specific printer.
Use the driver for that printer.

I don't have a printer. I am printing to a file.

>I don't have a printer. I am printing to a file.

But eventually you're sending it to a printer, right?  So that is the
driver you use.
