I finalinally found what was wrong !.

the error i was getting was:

 Ghostscript 8.63: Can't start ijs server "hpijs"

This seems to be related to the pthread lib. Setting

STDLIBS=-lm
SYNC=nosync

in work/ghostscript8.63/src/Makefile.in fixes the error.

That did it. The printer now works perfectly !

Thanks Gonzalo for your ever-lasting good will, patience and support !
God bless you !
