What format is the file in? If it is raw data then any terminal emulator 
should be able to send the data. If it is an ImageWriter Spool File then a 
spooler such as the Grappler Spooler from Orange Micro would be able to 
send the file (SuperSpool from SuperMac would probably work also but I 
have never tried it). With about a 5 line program you could easily write 
an application (or find someone to) to send an ImageWriter Spool File. It 
would also be very little code if the file was just raw data.

Hope this helps.
