I think write script which do right this is so easy ...
I have this setup for my DeskJet 320, and work fine. There are
two filters, one for .dvi files (lpr -d file.dvi) which call dvips and
gs, the other for .ps files (lpr -c file.ps, -c option is dedicated for
CifPlot format, and because I don't know what is CifPlot, I use it for PS :-)
