Ok, here you go :)

1. Open terminal
2. Type the following, but replace the 1.2.3.4 with either your
printer's network name or IP address, and press return:

nc < /usr/share/doc/groff/1.18.1/examples/letter.ps 1.2.3.4 9100

3. There is no step three ;)

Things that can go wrong are either that the letter.ps file is not on
your machine, or that you don't know the printer's address. Maybe
somebody else has a clever idea for that which does not involve
netstat, e.g. via Rendezvouz?
