ok found it!
this assumes that gs supports your printer.
start wp8
file -> print(F5)
(top right) select
(bottom right) printer create/edit
(top right)    add
(page down to just past the panasonics) click on Passthru PostScript
click ok
it asks for a driver i think i took the default, passpost.prs.

flash shabang shazam

you're not done yet.

(right hand side) setup
(bottom right) destination
(list) lp
click ok
ok

now celebrate!

enjoy
