I apologise for following up my own post, but here is the excerpt from
my non-working filter.  I think the DeviceModel parameter needs to be
corrected, but I have googled for some time, and can't find the answer.
More ideas will be very welcome!

cat $TMP | /usr/local/bin/gs \
     -sDEVICE=ijs \
     -sIjsServer=/usr/local/bin/ijsgimpprint \
     -sDeviceManufacturer=EPSON \
     -sDeviceModel=escp2-870 \  # I also tried escp2-ex and escp2-670
     -q -dNOPAUSE -r600
