I guess you are right, but I am not absolutely sure. Does not the
spooler also handle RAW data? This kind of data would come in at the
second step (or was there something more which I have forgotten at the
moment?).

Yes, it looks like that.

We are talking about two problems. I wanted it to be very clear that
there are only two options that we are aware of now to get color printing:
1) Using the externa program Ghostscript
2) Using the elisp file htmlize-view.el (or something similar)
I think this thread has made this very clear too.

I would like to solve that too if we can. At the moment I am out of
ideas. Not totally of course (see above), but I do not know what to test
further.
The printer we are currently talking about works perfectly well
otherwise. I print to it several times every day.

I am not sure of that. This happened in a mixed computer environment.
