<If you're using Transcript version 2.1 (I think this will work for

<tbl file | /usr/lib/ditroff -ms -Tpsc -i | /usr/local/transcript/psdit -r |
< lpr -Pps
The Sun release of Transcript has the -r option, the Adobe release doesn't.
I went through this quite a while ago. Adobe is hoping to add it in a future
release.
