The simplest way to print a PS file to a PS printer from Win3.1 is to 
use File Manager to Copy the file to LPT1: (or whichever port you wish). 
There's also a free program called Ghostscript that will translate PD 
files for a variety of printers. Its companion Ghostview will let you 
view the PS file under Windows. If there's a problem with the PS file 
Ghostscript should help with debugging. Some printers (eg HP series) 
have an option to print error messages (accessible on the printer 
control panel) - this option is off by default.
