What you need is a print filter, or at least the various utilities a
print filter uses to convert your .dvi, .ps, .etc... files into a
format recognizable by your printer.  Look at
/usr/ports/print/apsfilter for a good starting point.  Installing that
port will install a number of dependent ports that provide various
conversion facilities.  Try it out and write again if you still have
problems.
