Re: Printing or converting to postscript from command line

I'd suggest doing it in 2 stages:

abiword --to=ps test.rtf
lpr -PmyPrinterName test.ps

If you're using the AbiWord 2.6 series (or newer) and don't want an
intermediate file:

abiword --to=ps --to-name=fd://1 test.rtf | lpr -PmyPrintername
