I am endevoring to perform the same magic.  If you find a way let me know.

Here is what I have been able to do so far.  "Capture" the postscript
from interleaf by printing to "printerleaf" then running the resultant
file through the filter pl2ps (printerleaf to postscript).  Transfer
the file to the mac (via telnet or however you can do it).  At this
point I can send the PS (postscript) to an Apple Laserwriter with 
programs like Widgets (by CE Software) or Postility (by PostCraft).

But......Postility has another trick up its sleeve, the manual says
it can convert PS to pict or to text!!!  I have not tried it but if
it works, it will solve all our problems.

My end result is to allow Interleaf graphics (we have ~500 workstations)
to be colorized on the Mac and printed to my QMS ColorScript Model 10.

I'll Let you know how it goes.
