Not really.  The only overlap in program names between transcript and
psutils is psnup; that leaves:

  ps4014
  ps630
  pscat
  pscatmap
  psdit
  psdraft
  psfax
  pslpr
  psplot
  psrev
  psroff

It may be that some of the same functionality exists in psutils with
different interfaces; I don't know.  I also don't know how often the
above commands are used.  But it's certainly not accurate to say that
psutils provides painless equivalents of "much of the rest" of what's in
Transcript.
