The short answer is: you don't print them.
The longer answer is: SGML files contain structured documents; they do not
contain any layout information. By applying a stylesheet to them, they can
be rendered into a printable format.
One way of doing that is to use a script like 'db2ps' from the
cygnus-stylesheets package; another way is to use "jade" directly (see e.g.
http://www.wi.leidenuniv.nl/~jdassen/onderwijs/stuva/debug/).
Be sure to install the "task-sgml" package so you have all relevant
packages.
