Looks like you're sending postscript files from the FreeBSD
machine to the MacOS machine.
Pick one such postscript file. How does it start out? The
first line should start with the four characters: %!PS
If it does not, then add those four characters and see what
happens.
If that doesn't work, then try sending the job using
lpr -l
instead of a plain 'lpr' command. That's a lowercase-L that
I'm adding there.
