This is a note (mostly so I wont forget) on how to print a document stored as a
JPEG file.  There are probably easier ways to do this, but this worked for me.

Get the document out of Objectify:

    export_file my_document.jpg

Open it with the GIMP, do any necessary editing.  I am assuming that the
document was originally 8 1/2 by 11 inches, I am going to print it slightly
smaller (8 by 10.4 inches).

You may want to convert the background to pure white for printing.

First set the Print Size:

   Image -> Print Size...

   Enter 8.0 for the width and click OK.

Then save it as a PostScript document:

   File -> Save as...

   Expand the Select File Type (By Extension) list.

   Select PostScript Document    ps

   Click on Save

Finally send the PostScript file to the printer:

   lp my_document.ps

And if you don't have a default printer:

   lp -d EpsonStylusPhotoR320 my_document.ps
