Modify for use without distiller

Sure. Just set the $DISTILLER variable to FALSE and specify via the
'device URI' where to store the postscript files as relative path to
$TARGET_BASEDIR.

So in case, you set $TARGET_BASEDIR to e.g. /Users/tk/Shared/ and
want to store the ps files in /Users/tk/Shared/ps-files/ then you should
set

    postscriptfile://ps-files

as 'device URI' in either PrintCenter or the CUPS web frontend.

Hmm... seems to be a problem related to the decompression software.
Using curl & gunzip, the script should have proper permissions. I'm
thinking about providing a .dmg file with a small AppleScript based
installer instead when I finished some enhancements to the current
version...
