Probably your printing subsystem knows to recognize compressed files and
uncompress them using a printing filter, before doing anything else to
them.
About ghostview - maybe your version of ghostview can do the same (not too
difficult to implement, just use popen("gunzip -c yourpsfile.ps.gz |",...)
instead of open("yourpsfile.ps",...) if the filename ends with ".gz").
