I think your setup is a bit too complicated, but I'm also no FreeBSD (just Mac
OS X, a remote relative) and a PostScript printer user.
Assume you've set up your printing subsystem correctly. Then a default printer
is set and it's able to process a few different input formats and send it as
PostScript code to the printer – if it's a PS printer. OTOH, GNU Emacs can
produce PostScript output directly – see its File menu!
Since GNU Emacs 21 or 22 I am relying on GNU Emacs' built-in knowledge of UNIX
printing. So I am setting only variables to beautify the produced PS output,
like:
'(ps-bottom-margin 36)
'(ps-error-handler-message (quote system))
'(ps-footer-font-family (quote Palatino))
'(ps-header-font-family (quote ZapfChancery-MediumItalic))
'(ps-inter-column 25)
'(ps-left-margin 36)
'(ps-line-number-color "green")
'(ps-line-number-font "Courier-Bold")
'(ps-paper-type (quote a4))
'(ps-print-control-characters nil)
'(ps-print-footer t)
'(ps-right-margin 27)
'(ps-top-margin 28)
'(ps-warn-paper-type nil)
Maybe printing works for you as well out-of-the-box... (provided the printing
subsystem is set up correctly)
