Thanks for your reply.
I created a files called test.ps.
$ cat test.ps
%!PS
/Courier findfont
20 scalefont
setfont
72 500 moveto
(Hello world!) show
showpage
If I send it to the printer, it works. I get a Hello World.
So here is a recreation of the script that is failing.
#!/opt/csw/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
my $prolog = <<ENDPROLOG;
%!PS
/Courier findfont
20 scalefont
setfont
72 500 moveto
(Hello world!) show
showpage
ENDPROLOG
my $PRINT_CMD = '/usr/bin/lp -o nobanner';
open my $output, '|-', $PRINT_CMD
or die "Can't open pipe to $PRINT_CMD: $!";
print $output $prolog;
close $output or warn "Error while closing pipe to $PRINT_CMD: $!";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
