Printing from the command line doesn't work in AbiWord
for Windows. Also, our Win32 port uses GDI to draw to
the screen and printer. It is incapable of generating
PostScript. The Unix version prints via PostScript,
though.

As stated above, this won't work on Windows. The
Unix/Linux version will do what you want.
