The general idea is to have ghostscript convert from PostScript to
whatever "language" the printer understands.  Unfortunately, it
probably doesn't support that particular model of printer and so
all you can do is spool "raw" data to it; if you create your own
raster file in the appropriate format, you can create arbitrary
images (modulo the printer resolution).  At BRL we used a lot of
raster-supporting devices for general graphics, and Muus and I
developed a very generic rasterizer that could support mots of
the devices we encountered.  If ghostscript had something like
that, you'd be able to set up a printer description file and then
it would be able to use the printer as a target for PostScript
conversion.  Should be a 1-week project for somebody (not me!).
