Why not send out the PostScript of your page?  There is an application out
there (paintPS? printPS?) that will print an arbitrary PostSript file to
your printer, and I don't think it's too expensive (maybe public domain
even).

To get the PS, I think you print with the option key down to get the regular
Apple print dialog instead of Microsoft's, then after you click OK, hold
cmd-F down to get a PostScript file (or cmd-K if you need the laserprep as
well).

Good luck,
