Above you said you send it to a PS printer. Anyways: obviously the .jpg file is NOT PostScript (or PCL), ok? So, in order to translate it to PostScript you need some program, ok so far?

Usually viewer programs have built in such programs so one option would be to open the JPEG with such a program and hit "print" - this is what you have been told by johnf and me.

Probably there are other - batch-mode-capable - JPEG-to-PostScript converters but we don't know one - fire up your favourite search engine and more likely than not you might find one. Configure this program to act as a "backend" in your printer queue, you will maybe have to hack "rembak" (the system-provided printer backend) to suit your needs.

I hope this helps.
