If you have a postscript printer you simply run:
lpr name_of_file.ps

If you don't have a postscript printer you can set up some sort of filter
to convert from ps to a format recognized by your printer and then send
that to the printer with lpr.

But in any case it is probably easier to use cups to handle this process
for you (converting ps to printer format).
