4 - WWPPS Utility

    The World-Wide PostScript Printing Subsystem (WWPPS) is a utility
    that allows you to print a PostScript file with various language
    characters on any PostScript printer. By embedding font data
    within the PostScript printable file, you can print the language
    characters even if the printer does not have the local language
    character fonts.

    For detailed instructions about using the WWPPS utility, refer to
    the OpenVMS User's Manual.

    For more information about the installation and administration of
    the WWPPS utility, refer to the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
