Since no-one has replied to this, let me see if I can come up with an idea.

Assuming you are using Linux or a Mac, I wonder if it is somehow possible to “save” a .ps file to a postscript device? I have never had to do any Linux magic with CUPS, so maybe this isn’t possible. Anybody else have any thoughts?

Normally you can cat the .ps file to lpr or similar:

cat file\.ps | lpr \-P my\_printer lpr -P my_printer file.ps

I'm not sure if it works also for eps files.

On mac I'd print it using the system. Actually my first inspection
now shows that apparently you can use lpr also on mac:

$ lpq
HP_LaserJet_4100n_at_CERN_ISOLDE_offices ist bereit
keine Einträge

(meaning the printer is ready and there are no entries)

But I don't know if all printers are listed in the lpq list, because
for me one is missing.
