How to create a test .ps postscript file on Solaris

Rich asked me how to create a postscript file.

To create a test postscript file on Solaris you can use 

# /usr/bin/mp
# /usr/openwin/bin/mp
# /usr/lib/lp/postscript/postprint

These can provide a test PostScript file with which you can test out the printer/queue configuration.

vi test.txt
This is a test.
:wq

/usr/bin/mp test.txt >test.ps

You can then print this .ps file to test your printer.

A good article on basics of printing in Solaris is available here.
