[lots of stuff on trying to get macScript printing on a PostScript
device...]

Macps is a program that effectively converts MacScript (Which is not
PostScript(tm)) into PostScript.  I use it regularly with considerable
luck.  It should be on the mac ftp sites(*).

If you have a postscript compatable printer connected to a unix box,
you should also have (or get) a copy of TransScript.  TransScript is a
piece of software originally from Adobe (also remarketed by sun) that
includes a postscript driver for the standard printer spooler, a troff
to postscript converter, a ditroff to postscript converted, etc.  It's
fairly cheap as these things go, and well worth the cost in
aggravation prevented.

* you mentioned you don't know where the mac ftp sites are.  I don't
  either as I'm not on the internet, but I think
  sumex-aim.stanford.edu = 36.44.0.6, is the biggie.
