Gawd I hate reading a converstation backward. Use a real mailer. 8-) Yes, it'll work. That's all that -no-x11 is, is set the knob and build the original port. The really sick thing here is that you still have two copies of gs - one that you actually run (espgs) as you print, and one that is just sitting there to proved 5M of fonts. cups does not use the gs print drivers, it instead operates on same principle as a compiler: first translate to a common intermediate format (page raster image), then convert to the output to drvie the printer.
