Actually, piping the output was not the answer, at least not technically. What
I ended up doing was redirecting the output.
a2ps testfax | testfax.ps gave me an error, because the pipe expects to pass to
an executable (if I am understanding correctly what went on here). testfax.ps
is not an executable.
a2ps testfax > testfax.ps worked.
