From the documentation
lynx /usr/local/share/ghostscript/7.05/doc/Ps2pdf.htm
-dPDFSETTINGS=configuration
+ /screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat
Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
+ /printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print
Optimized" setting.
+ /prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress
Optimized" setting.
+ /default selects output intended to be useful across a wide
variety of uses, possibly at the expense of a larger output file.
