I always use it under windows 2000 or XP, but I assume that under 
windows you'll be able to do something to the effect of

     cat TktNumber.ps >> /dev/MyPrinter


But I don't know if you have to do something special to get the ^D 
characters though to the printer ?  Maybe there's a better or correct way.
