Printing or converting to postscript from command line

I'm trying to print out some rtf files from command line. Using -p option
with Abiword gives an error:

** (abiword:20897): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030

I've also tried using url of printer like ipp://10.0.0.10/L1 but same
errors.
My default printer is set in ~/.cups/lpoptions as Epson but it doesn't seem
to work with that. Something I tried that I came across on google:

abiword xxx.rtf --print=test.ps

but that gives more errors:

** (abiword:32154): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030

** (abiword:32154): WARNING **: Could not GPAReference Printer to test.ps

If I try to do -t PostScript is produces what seems to be an odf format,
and -t ps just hangs.

Any ideas on how to get this to work? Or in fact any pointers on how to
convert rtf to something printable would be good too.
