Haven't tried this with GS postscript files, don't know if it'd work.  
There's a unix utility called 'macps' that will munge the 'appleprep'
header file so that standard laserprinters will accept the file.  Been 
a couple years since I had to go and find it, try the sumex-aim ftp
site at stanford, or your local macintosh archive.
