cat myfile.ps | telnet tcp!192.168.1.101!9100

For what it's worth, I have networked PS printer (Samsung CLP550) and these settings in my /sys/lib/lp/devices work (I have no real understanding of what the lpd* things do behind the scenes, though):

clp550    robbys-room    clp550n    raw    -    post2+1200dpi+nohead    generic    lpdspool    lpd    -    -    FIFO
clp550d    robbys-room    clp550n    raw    -    post2+1200dpi+duplex+nohead    generic    lpdspool    lpd    -    -    FIFO


Note that I also have the printer as an entry in my /lib/ndb/local, so clp550n is 192.168.0.200 or something.
