The post-dvips printing path often uses Ghostscript (indeed sometimes it uses *two* different branches, if the distributor is trying to keep espgs in a little box labelled 'CUPS raster'... :)

... not that I'm entirely sure when CUPS raster stuff kicks in in any case. It doesn't seem to be invoked at all in my printing path, to a Samsung mono PCL laser: flow goes from dvips-emitted PostScript through the ps2ps filter and then directly to pxlmono... well, OK, in cups-1.2rc3 it went from dvips-emitted PostScript and *crashed* the ps2ps filter. Oops. :)
