printing rtf files

[Radhakrishnan Venkatara]

Greetings,
Is there anyway I can print RTF files from hpux to network printer ? My requirement is to print them from some batch jobs.Please throw some light.

Thanks in advance

Using a combination of "ted" and "ghostscript" you might be able to.

"ted" can be found at http://www.nllgg.nl/Ted and it is a X-window app to edit .rtf files. It can also print to postscript printers. You can also execute a command line of "ted" to generate a postscript.

"ghostscript" can be found on the HP porting and archive center. It can convert postscript output to PCL.

This doesn't deal with your question exactly, but in case you are using rtf files to avoid .doc files, .doc files can be read with antiword on the command line.

it's great for quick-and-dirty .doc file reads.
