The lp facility will automagically convert to PostScript. So you can merely

	lp picture.rgb

and it will print.

The Module Writers Guide (MWG) is in PostScript form on the ftp site.
The Users Guide (UG) in TimesRoman font is also on the ftp site. 
This is for those that don;t have Palantino font
on their printer.

       UK Site : ftp.epcc.ed.ac.uk (129.215.56.29)
        US Mirror : swedishchef.lerc.nasa.gov (139.88.54.33)

If you want the color manuals, they cost $195. There are 3 manuals, MWG, UG, and
Module Definition. The Module Definition is the compendium of help files for the
modules.
