I've heard of people doing it.  

A Postscript printer on the 'Net is considered a security vulnerability.
So if the printer comes with words that access the network device, there's
no reason to think not.

Perhaps an HTTP string sent in, and one of N html files sent out, for
some value of "in" and "out" that would be compatible with ghostscript.

Well, there's this nagging issue of sanity that's a bit of a bother....
