I use a program that was written by William Mason and Sam Paolucci named
IFF2PS. It is version 2.0. It allows you to generate encapsulated postscript
as well as just a straight postscript file. After adjusting it to get full
size printouts of various images I left those options in my configuration
file and made them the defaults. The output file is on an NFS mounted file
system that my workstation shares, so I just lpr the file to the printer
down the hall and poof a hard copy of an IFF image. 

It's available from Tom's BBS (415) 32-RADIO, and from kilowatt as iff2ps20.1

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
