Here I run into the same problem that I have with Warren Block's lpr 
suggestion. Following the instructions 
at:http://iharder.sourceforge.net/macosx/winmacprinter/
I have everything working fine at the XP server side. But when I try to add 
the networked printer from my FreeBSD box, starting at KMenu->Print 
System->Print Manager I enter administrator mode and 
select 'Add printer/class' from the Add menu. This starts the Add Printer 
Wizard. I select remote LPD Queue add the host and queue info. At the Printer 
Model  Selection page I check the box for Postscript Printer and get a 
warning dialog: "Unable to find the Postscript driver."

I have Ghostscript installed and it has served me well in the recent past, so 
I know it's there. Why can't KDE find it? Where is it looking for the 
postscript driver?
