GhostScript is not the PostScript driver.
If you have a printer with PostScript built in, you don't need a device
(or driver) for GhostScript and you don't use a printer "driver".
With some printer setup tools, you would configure the printer as RAW.
You send it the PostScript file without any modification.
I suggest that if you are using LPD that it might not work with the KDE
setup tools and you might need to use the tools that came with LPD.
