This is the most informative thing I have found so far: http://www.linuxprinting.org/kpfeifle/LinuxKongress2002/Tutorial/V.CUPS-Filtering-Architecture/V.CUPS-Workshop-LinuxKongress2002-Content.html
He sort of implies CUPS has a (I inferred built-in) filter to rasterize postscript: 4.3. The pstoraster-filter Next call is for pstoraster. This one is at the core of the CUPS RIP. Currently it is still derived off Ghostscript version 5.50. This sounds (and is) quite old, but the CUPS developers have applied many modifications and patches of their own to it an, so that the consecuting raster drivers in the chain still are able to drive many inkjet printers to true photo quality output. I'll read up on gs-esp and cupsys-driver-gimpprint package in the morning.
