While analysing okular printing stuff I used the following script named lpr.bat
and a little hack in okular to search for lpr.bat instead of lpr (because
KStandardDirs::findExe did not find the batch file) to print from okular 

echo %* >> c:\kde\vc100d\tmp\lpr.log
set FILE=%7
set OUTPUT=%2
set OPTIONS=-sDEVICE=mswinpr2 -dNoCancel -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dBitsPerPixel=4
echo gswin32 %OPTIONS% -sOutputFile="\\spool\%2" %FILE% >>
c:\kde\vc100d\tmp\lpr.log
gswin32 %OPTIONS% -sOutputFile="\\spool\%2" %FILE% >> c:\kde\vc100d\tmp\lpr.log
if ERRORLEVEL 1 then goto error
exit 0

:error
exit 1

Unfortunally I found are some issues with this script. 

1. -dBitsPerPixel=4 degrades massive the resolution 
2. Using  -dBitsPerPixel=24 results into more than 2 GB big spool file and an
unusable workstation for at least 10 minutes when printing a pdf file
containing 24 page with several images.
