This functionality is planned for 2.0.8.  Obviously that 
doesn't help you much now.  The only option you currently have 
is to install the printer driver locally (required admin priv).
You will have to know what type of printer it is of course.
At my last job, since we had a variety of PS printers available,
we always instaled a generic postscript driver.  The Apple 
Laserwrite II NTX  seemed to work good for this.
