Under pre-2.0 systems, the NeXT Laser Printer was supposed
"directly" by the window server; it allocated a 1-bit-deep
buffer which it would blast at the printer on receipt of a
copypage or showpage operator.  Now, the laser driver is
part of npd, and as far as I know there's no way to get it
to print something unless it initiates the request through
"normal" means.

I don't think so.

Read your .tiff file into Icon and save it out as .eps
