Connect to Repetier-Server from a Mac running Host .56?

Hi Everyone,
 I have been using the Mac OS X Repetier-Host .56 for a few days and it works fantastic when connected directly to the printer via USB. Now i would like to move my setup over to a stand alone machine running Ubuntu and Repetier-Server and then connect to it from my Mac running Repetier-Host so I can slice and print from there. 

I have had no problems getting the server setup and connected to the printer, everything runs fine. But I can't find how to setup the Host printer connection on my Mac to use the Repetier-Server as the printer. When I go to Printer Settings, there is no option for "Repetier-Server". Only the local USB or serial connections or "Virtual Printer." 

Is it possible?

    Sorry, but this only works with the windows/linux version. Mac host is a completely different program.

    Are there any plans to add this? I just bought Repetier Server and was hoping that functionality was in there. So for now we can use host, slice it, then save the GCode and manually upload it?

    The server will get it's own slicer so you do not need any host (or external slicer). It will also get a wrapper app to run it like a app instead of inside a browser. That is all meant as replacement of existing host.

    Is there any update on this? I've been running the Windows version of Repetier Host on a dual-boot Macbook Pro, but everything else I do is on the Mac side of things, so it would be nice not to have to switch over to Windows for slicing and printing. (Note: I just picked back up on printing after about a year away, so I may be far behind, so apologies if it's a dumb question.)

    Since server runs on mac you could use a pure lsicer to slice on mac and send it to server with browser frontend on http://localhost:3344 ;
    Server slicer is still in progress.
