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.
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.
