Well, it's definitely not postscript. You can look here:

Under the language, it says quickdraw.
Compare that to my old 4/600, which notes that it is a postscript printer. And If you look at the ports, while they look the same, as the applespec notes, one is a plain old serial, and the other on the 4/600 is localtalk. Admittedly, an ethernet port would be far superior, but at lest with the 4/600 you can use a cheap ethernet to localtalk bridge and print straight out of OSX.
One other thing you said confuses me. You say to use gimp-print, you must had a postscript printer. If you have a postscript printer, OSX should have the drivers anyway, apart from gimp-print.
True, however Gimp-print provides many more drivers than are included with OS X. But the printer still has to be Postscript. Tho there may be a way to use Ghostscript to make Postscript printers such as the PLW 300 work under X, but I don't know how.
