What you need is Ghostscript, a software level postscript emmulator.  The
version widely available for Linux is accualy second hand from a
commercial company (name?) generous (and smart) enough to routinely donate
their old versions to the public.  I have heard that this version has some
trouble supporting the new breed of Epson printers, which is too bad.  I
don't know off hand who is working on our version of gs.  This might be a
case where going with the commercial version would be worthwhile.  It is
presumably more compatible with modern printers.
