This is probably not the easiest solution or the most ideal solution, but
I use a program called ghostscript together with ghostview which allows me
to view postscript files and print them to a non-postscript printer. In
either case, you would have to download and save the file. The particular
versions of these programs that I use work under Linux. They are free
programs. I do not know if there are versions available for dos or
windows or Mac.
Another possibility IF you happen to have a postscript printer available
is to simply copy the files to the printer. Actually a dos copy
filename.ps prn would work if there are not extra headers placed there by
whatever you use to download them.
