You should use Tea4CUPS available from http://www.pykota.com

With it, you'll setup 'tea4cups://' as this print qeue's Device URI,
then in tea4cups.conf you'll define a hook which launches ghostscript
on the $TEADATAFILE file and converts this input file to jpeg.

On the clients use a PostScript driver, then you're done.

NB : to the best of my knowledge, jpeg doesn't handle multiple pages,
so you should probably use tiff instead.
