>Description:
	When I getting my PS printer going, I had no idea how to send it a test page.
	The handbook does have a sample postscript program, but it doesn't show you
	how to use the sample.
>How-To-Repeat:
	see http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/printing-intro-setup.html
	under section 9.3.1.3.2. Checking Printer Communications
