+% ymmv, but here's what worked for me:
+
+% to compile:
+% latex pcardsmp
+
+% convert to postscript (50 addresses):
+% dvips -t landscape '-l=1' -c 50 -o message.ps pcardsmp
+% dvips -t landscape '-p=51' -o addresses.ps pcardsmp
+
+% to preview (dvi preview typically not correct due to rotations):
+% ghostview pcardsmp.ps
+
+% to print: (insert 3.5'' towards infeed roller)
+% lpr message.ps (stamp down and nearest the infeed)
+% lpr addresses.ps (stamp up, furthest from infeed)
+
+\documentclass[11pt]{postcards}
+
+% database containing addresses of the form:
+%
+% name
+% street\\town, etc.
+% opening
+% [blank line]
+
+\addressfile{datasmp.txt}
+
+% main body of text:
+\mailingtext{% note: opening is one of the address datafields
+The main message text goes here.
+\closing{Respectfully,}}
+
+% from-address and signature line:
+\address{Tree Killers, Inc.\\
+ 5 Bulldozer Lane\\
+ Slash and Burn, RT 99930}
+\signature{Marvin the Robot}
