The OP already said he tried apsfilter and it didn't work.

apsfilter is a pre-postscript filter so obviously the OP's problem
is something in how ghostscript is being tied into his printer.
He needs to fix that first before apsfilter will do anything for
him.

When troubleshooting, break everything into it's components and attack
them one at a time.
