Just like any other printer.

Just like .pdf usually need to be converted to .ps first.

Then why not including them to cups?
lp foo.txt
looks faster to me than
nfbtrans foo.txt foo.brf
lp foo.brf
rm -f foo.brf
Just like
lp foo.pdf
is faster than
pdf2ps foo.pdf foo.ps
lp foo.ps
rm -f foo.ps
(modulo the syntax of nfbtrans which I don't know)
Alternatively, nfbtrans could send the output to the printer directly,
but just running lp foo.txt should be the right way to go...
