If you want to print over a postscript file you'd eighter have to patch or 
to wait.

Anyway, as long as your printer is localy connected and supported by 
Gutenprint, I would recommend to manage the print file generation in 
CinePaint and avoid postscript at all. Thus, Gutenprint renders the print 
file from up to 16-bit data source in CinePaint itself with more control.

CinePaint  ->  Gutenprint (printer language file rendered from 16-bit)  -> 
spooling (CUPS/Lprng)  ->  
(local) supported print device


Using postscript adds an intermediate step with 8-bit precission. Then 
the rendering into the print language happens after spooling. You can do 
such in Scribus. Scribus has as well considerable good PDF output.

CinePaint  ->  Gutenprint( Postscript 8-bit )  ->  
spooling with CUPS / transport with DVD  ->  
remote ripping (print file rendering)  ->  whatever print device
