As far as I know, "print" has a -plot option to send binary data to a
printer.
(Although I found some strange behaviour: Printing TeX output
on a laserprinter (a 3812), needs the -plot option according to the
docs. But that didn't work properly.
When I removed the -plot option, printing TeX output works fine.)
