An excellent product that we use is a package called TranScript by
Adobe Systems, Inc.  (the authors of PostScript)

Their address is:
ADOBE Systems, Inc.
1870 Embarcadero Rd.
Suite 100
Palo Alto, CA  94303
1/800/344-8335

The TranScript product can take standard ascii files and convert
the following into PostScript output for a PostScript printer:

	ascii
	ditroff (device independent troff)
	troff   
	nroff
	TEK4014
	diablo 630 print files
	plot(5) files   (May not exist in newer Unix releases)

There are also several programs which are supplied which provide the
ability to print ascii files rotated, different font sizes and styles
and a neat program called psrev which will reverse the output so that
the last page comes out first and the first page last (ie, no collating)
required.

As part of the installation of the software, it will go ahead and set
up a lp destination that understands the PostScript printer so that all
you have to do to print a file is type:

	lp <file...>

Licenses are available for both binary and source.
