Ok, but it's still a Localtalk connected printer, right?

The printer might be 'smart' enough to figure that if someone sends it
data the good old asynchronous serial interface way, it's probably not a
Mac so it's not going to be postscript. Or you'll need to send a ^D after
the job, or turn all linefeeds into carriage returns, or swallow them all.

See dpkg-deb -h for options on this tool. The -e option should create a
DEBIAN directory with the postinst shell script in it, this script runs
after installation.
But the script should be present on your system, see the output of
ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postinst ...
