Thanks for your patience

Description : Ghostscript is a set of software that provides a PostScript(TM) interpreter, a set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library, which implements the graphics capabilities in the PostScript language) and an interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Ghostscript translates PostScript code into many common, bitmapped formats, like those understood by your printer or screen. Ghostscript is normally used to display PostScript files and to print PostScript files to non-PostScript printers.
If you need to display PostScript files or print them to non-PostScript printers, you should install ghostscript. If you install ghostscript, you also need to install the ghostscript-fonts package.

Does this mean, that I have to print to a file in postscript, pipe it to the ps2pdf command and pipe it again to a printer, fax with an enclosed option for that device or to a mailserver as p.e. pdf?
The program ps2pdf is included with the ghostscript package and is almost certainly already installed on your system. It will convert a postscript file to a PDF, which is exactly what you were originally asking about. See "man ps2pdf".
