Try trying to find out what it is with the file command.  I've found that this helps 
alot when you have a file whose type is suspect.

For example:
# file escher.ps
  escher.ps: PostScript document text

Next, load it up with a ps viewer, such as one of the many for linux such as 
[k]ghostview and print from there.

Failing that, on any linux box with ghostscript installed, go to 
/usr/share/ghostscript/Version#/examples and try to print one of the examples that 
comes with the ghostscript package.
