You need two things: the netatalk package, and the enscript package. They
are both in the package system.

Netatalk will let a NetBSD box talk to an Appletalk printer. Look at the
info on pap, the program which will do this.

If you want to print a text file, you also need enscript. Postscript
printers only print postscript, which your text file isn't. :-)

I have a shell script called "lp2" which uses enscript to print text files
two to a page:

> cat bin/lp2 
#! /bin/sh
enscript -2rG $*


Take care,
