Currently, you have to use the Unix command lpr to send your output.  Setting the
driver with ps.select only defines the output's file language (postscript) 
including the paper and image size.  You can send this postscript file to any
printer capable of supporting this size (and color) definition.

Someone could incorporate such Unix commands with map output programs into
a GUI to answer your question. Such an animal may be close to practical reality.
Stayed tuned.
