Freedom of Press renders most things the Macintosh can print onto a
really large selection of printers. It supports any QuickDraw printers
(even in color) and has special support for the ImageWriter II.

This is a commercial program and it requires about 2MB to run
reasonably. It's really a PostScript interpreter and does a very good
job with color printouts on our HP PaintWriter XL. If you use any
decent page layout of graphics programs, you'll probably benefit from
FoP. The times font clone that comes with it leaves something to be
desired, but it's ok for the price (besides, ATM is supported, so the
quality might be better with ATM).

CheapColor might also be able to do what you wanted and at the fraction
of the cost.
