I would call that "not working at all".
I have GPL Ghostscript 8.70, maybe I used syntax that is not supported
by version 8.62.
You can try this variant:
cat test.pdf | gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -dFIXEDMEDIA
-dPDFFitPage -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile='%pipe%lpr' -
Or you can tell gs to send the output to STDOUT and then pipe it to lpr:
cat test.pdf | gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pswrite -dFIXEDMEDIA
-dPDFFitPage -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=- - | lpr

I think we should first try to make it work correctly on the command
line.
