print ps 2-sided

[Mike - EMAIL IGNORED]

I have downloaded some postscript files that I want to
print two-sided. I have a an HP-1200 printer that allows
manual 2-sided printing. There appears to be no application
on my system that will open the ps file. When I print the
file from the command line, I get 1-sided printing even if
I set 2-sided in the printer window in the Control Panel.
I tried opening the ps file with Notepad, but when I print,
the results are uninterpreted ps. Any suggestions? Perhaps
an application I should download?

Thanks for your help,
Mike.

My Adobe reader 6.0.2 won't open the file. Am I missing something?
The start of the file is shown below. I repeat that the print
command will print it.
Thanks,
Mike.

Only the full version, not the Reader, can open .PS (PostScript) files.

What you need is the open software GhostScript that will view, print and manipulate .PS
(PostScript) files.

Specifically, GhostPrint to print .PS under the Win32 ennvironment.
