One of our techs did a test recently where he just created postscript
files from Quark and printed them right to an RGB printer using a

and included Illustrator eps files, etc. But he says Mac OS X seemed
to be working as a RIP and rasterizing the files just fine. I have yet
to confirm any of this.
It's been possible to do this since 10.2 by installing Ghostscript and
then gimp-print drivers, which get used by CUPS. I'm finding that the
CUPS filters included in Panther related to PostScript rasterizing and
normalized into PDF are calling
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PSNormalizer.framework but I have no
idea whose RIP technology this is. So yes, it appears there's a
PostScript RIP of some kind included with 10.3.
