I'm not using Abiword, but I do use Gimp. I also use the system of

Did you actually try this for printing postscript files on the Mac? I
mean without using some other driver or filter on the windows or linux
computer? If this works, I start believing in miracles.
The hints are about sharing with Windows, but the second printer
definition also works for Linux and "Unix" programs on the Mac,
including X11 programs like the Gimp.
The gimp has an extensive set of printer drivers that evolved into
gimp-print. It knows how to print to hp deskjets. The hints you
mentioned consist in sending the raw output of the print function to the
printer. If the program sends a postscript file like AbiWord does, I
would be very surprised if the inkjet printer knew how to print it.
