Yes! It's called cups+ghostscript, there is also a cups filter floating arounds called cups-pdf which does the leg work for you.
Basically cups presents a Postscript printer to the network, pick any good color postscript printer, (add samba for windows printing support and ads publishing) the client machine connects, converts the documents into Postscript for printing, but instead of going to a postscript printer it sends it to ghostscript's ps2pdf converter.
I cannot tell if this answers my question or not so I will restate my requirement. I believe that I need to create an .eps format file with text and graphics and font information preserved. I have the original document in ms-word 2000 format. I also have it in .pdf format. I am given to understand that the difference between .eps and .ps is the the inclusion of the font info. Is a plain .ps output file sufficent instead because this I can easily accomplish.
