How? Is there any reason why GNU Emacs should send different PS code to 
the *PostScript* buffer then to the printer queue?

I wouldn't buy a printer without PostScript, so I do not have any need 
to use gs between GNU Emacs or another application and the printer. And 
it's modern enough to be able to print € or ISO 8859-16 glyphs. It's 
CUPS that finally takes care for a good printout, being able to convert 
text to PS too?

There is just one need for gs: to view GNU Emacs' output or to convert 
this output reliably to PDF. Apple's own pstopdf in Mac OS X fails as 
does any other application when made to display this: they all first 
need to convert PS to PDF to make it display (as "Display PDF") in 
Quartz.
