You need to specify the destination for the file that will be
created by the pswrite device. For this, use -sOutputFile=filename.ps
For example:

    pcl6 -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=file.ps file

Since the default OutputFile is the printer (/dev/lp0) I'm not
surprised you got an error. If you want to send the PostScript
output to stdout, use:

    pcl6 -sDEVICE=pswrite -sOutputFile=- file
