QuarkXPress 7 will print your imported vector EPS files smoothly on a non-PostScript printer (such as your desktop inkjet), if you turn on Generate Preview in QuarkXPress> Preferences> Application> EPS.

For the smoothest output, be sure to select the EPS picture box and choose Item> Preview Resolution> Full Resolution (or Control-click/right-click the picture box and select it from the contextual menu that appears).

If you later close and reopen the document and want the smoothest output from a non-PostScript printer, double-check to be sure that Full Res Previews is enabled in the View menu.
