seems like ps2ascii is a wrapper script around 'gs' - ghostscript [at least on Solaris.

Do you have gostscript/gs installed?

No I didn't find gs too..

actully I want to print ps file with Helvitica10 font..
if I use
enscript -fHelvetica10 -B P000000327_55138.ps

I am getting o/p as like this :

%%BoundingBox: 0 0 595 792
%%LanguageLevel: 1
%%Creator: htmldoc 1.8.23 Copyright 1997-2002 Easy Software Products, All

I thought enscript o/p file is again ps.. so printer didn't understand.. since enscript i/p file is txt file.. o/p is ps.. So I thought convert autogenearated ps file to txt and using enscript and this txt file I can try print..
thus I need to convert this PS file to txt..
