[comp.sys.mac] Need to send a file "raw" to Postscript printer

I hope I can explain this properly  ;-)


On a *nix-type machine, I have an X window which I would
like to screen dump to a postscript (QMS100) color printer.
I know that I can xwd and xpr (with a -ps switch creating
a postscript file) BUT

The problem is this:

The QMS100 is connected to a localtalk network.  I can get
one (or both) of either the xwd output'ed file or the
embedded postscript file (output of xpr) to a Macintosh
on this network

Now,

I need either:  a program (can be commercial - we have
MacDraw 1.1, Canvas, et al) that can accept as input a
X window dump (xwd) format file OR a program or method
which will take my embedded postscript program and send
it to the QMS100 WITHOUT doing the postscript encapsulation.
That is, I need a utility to send a file "raw" to the
printer

This one might be quite easy but I must admit that I am much
more comfortable working in a *nix environment than a Mac one.

Any bright ideas?
