You can give SGI money for the software that converts ascii to
postscript, (ENSCRIPT). My understanding is that they don't make much
money on this, but charge what it costs them for the license.
Alternatively you can use a public domain postscript converter.  I
have been very happy with 'lptops', available via anonymous ftp from
science.utah.edu. This supports a number of nice features including
different fonts, pagination, multiple columns, etc.
