If I have a file full of Postscript (generated by my PC word processor, for
example) how do I print it? Examination of manual entries for transcript,
enscript, lpr, and anything else I can think of hasn't turned it up, unless
I'm even more nearsighted than I thought I was.

If the first line of your Postscript file begins with "%!", then you can just use lpr to send it to the NeXT printer - e. g., "lpr -Pnp <file>". I've printed a wide variety of Postscript on my "np" from PC CAD packages, pic, etc. and they look fine. The only problem I've had so far is printing Writenow Postscript on a remote Apple Laserwriter, because the Writenow Postscript uses a macro that is commented out in the preamble. A simple sed filter fixed that.
