(Perhaps more of a Mac question than a FreeBSD one, but Mac people
seem baffled by the whole idea...)

I have an iMac (MacOS X 10.2) with an Epson printer attached.  Is
there a reasonable way to use it as a print server from FreeBSD
without installing CUPS, ghostscript and all the associated stuff?
The Mac can print postscript perfectly well so it seems pointless to
have the FreeBSD box converting it to the Epson printer language
instead of sending postscript and converting on the Mac.

(By "resonable" I mean other than scp'ing the file and then going
upstairs to click on some menus.)
