If you can start with a single script, I can try telling you how to customize variables in ps-mule.el to have that script printed, assuming your printer has the necessary fonts built into it. Alternatively, you could set up ps-print to pipe its output into Ghostscript by customizing ps-lpr-command and ps-lpr-switches to invoke Ghostscript.
