Printing .ps files

Hi. I have some .ps files that I need to print. My computer is connected to an HP 5000 N over ethernet through a print server via LPT1. From the cmd DOS prompt, I tried COPY filename.ps LPT1, but I got a response: The device is not ready. 0 file(s) copied. Is there another simple way to print a .ps file? Also, I'd rather not use GhostScript. Thanks.

How did you create the capture for the printer to LPT1? The proper command for capturing a lpt port is. "net use lpt1 \\servername\printername /persistent:yes". (without the quotes)The persistent swith is only needed if you want Windows to capture the lpt1 each time you start windows. Without it you will need to run the net use statement each time you go to Dos to print.
