Strange!
Yesterday I commented out the require line and the postscript print
buffer(B+W) stopped working
Today its again working with the line commented out.
As for the GS_LIB -- got it from 
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PrintingFromEmacs
but yes its also probably not needed (so much for the content of the
wiki :-)
