I have posted two more generally applicable scripts to bugzilla:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59367

These work on my Linux system, but as been correctly pointed out, they will 
not work on all *NIX systems, and there are also network issues which this 
does not address.

I *have* found that you can install both the current version of GhostScript 
as well as ESPGhostSctipt to use with CUPS on the same system.

I installed ESPGhostScript in: "/usr/local" and called it: "gs-cups".

	./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-gs=gs-cups


I installed the current version of GhostScript ONLY as SO.

	./configure
	make so
	make soinstall

also in: "/usr/local" which is the default prefix.

Then you need a link:

	/usr/bin/gs -> /usr/local/bin/gsc

Or, if you are using the gsk script:

	/usr/bin/gs -> /usr/kde3/bin/gsk

	{your path may vary}

and then the: "gsk" script calls the front end for the GhostScript SO.

I think that it should be possible to write: "gsk" as an executable front 
end for GhostScript that could probably solve the problem, but some of that 
is going to require more *NIX expertise than I currently have.  But, I feel 
that it would be preferable to have the actual problems with Bash and CUPS 
fixed.
