If the printer supports PostScript, then by just copying them to the
printer (via any usual Windows UI, e.g. drag-n-drop, or print.exe, or
anything else).

If the printer do not support PostScript, then with Ghostscript, as on
any other platform.

Does any other platform assign any program to *.ps?
