Are you asking how to view the LaTeX file?  You need to run the latex
compiler:

latex filename.latex

This will give you some files with .aux .dvi and maybe something else.
Then the DVI file is the one you can look at or convert to Postscript.
Use xdvi to view it in X:

xdvi filename.dvi 

Or use dvips to print or save as a postscript file:

dvips filename.dvi 

will send directly to lpr

dvips -o somename.ps filename.dvi

will write output to postscript called somename.ps
