Ah, got it on the first try (Color Laserjet 8550).  I used:

lpr -o position=center mapout.ps

I figured that the left/right/top/bottom params were unnecessary  
since the center param would set those implicitly.

When I opened it in Preview, the message about converting PS to PDF  
tells me that that is probably why it works from Preview to the Epson  
- the Epson drivers, or maybe CUPS, can render PDF (the core of the  
OSX display system, and much if not all of the printing, is PDF- 
based).  And many modern printers support PDF natively.

Maybe if you can generate a PDF from Tcl and pass that to lpr?

Or look at that Gimp/Guten-print driver for your Epson.
