Does the Epson OSX printer driver handle postscript (in the past they've required a 3rd-party PS RIP)? CUPS (lpr) itself doesn't do any PS rendering, just hands the job to the correct printer driver (as far as I know). Or it at least adds printer-specific PS data to the job. If it does render PS for non-PS printers, it may be crude.<BR>
<BR>
I just remembered that Gimp-Print, which provides postscript printing to many non-PS printers, was renamed to Gutenprint, and an installer is included in Tiger (ie it's another "printer drivers" option in the Tiger installer, and it might still be called Gimp-print). This would allow proper PS printing if the Epson driver isn't PS.<BR>
