I found that it is usually easier to create a "direct" or "raw"
printer in /etc/printcap that does not use a filter (or uses 'cat' as
input filter 'if' (see printcap(5)), and install the appropriate
printer driver on the windows machine. I did this with a HP Deskjet
880C and an EPSON Stylus Color II, two printers for which ghostscript
does not have very advanced drivers.

Should work for almost any printer for which you have a Windows
driver (i. e. virtually every printer there is, except possibly GDI
printers).
