You have three options:
1. To create a normal text file (.txt)
2. To create a PostScript file (.ps)
3. To create an image (.jpg or .png)

Please choose one. :-)

P.S.
PostScript files can be printed directly in Linux. In Windows it  
depends on your printer. If it supports PostScript you can send it  
directly, if not you need some software, like GhostScript.
