I put a small program to convert uncompressed Plan 9 image(6) to Level 2 Postscript on our
usual web site (http://basalt.cias.osakafu-u.ac.jp/plan9/p9index.html).

It converts uncompressed color mapped 8 bit, 24/32 bit full color image(6) to one of DeviceRGB,
DeviceCMYK, DeviceGray of Level 2 Postscript colorspaces.  It reads Plan 9 image from stdin, and
writes to stdout, the latter can be overwritten by a named file supplying -f flag.   Other options
are those of -c <colorspace>, -w <width(cm)>, -h <height(cm)>, -x <x-offset(cm)>, -y <y-offset(cm)>,
and -s <papersize>.   Only the A4 papersize is now supported.  The option -l indicates landscape mode.

A typical usage of this program is:

cat /dev/wsys/7/window | pic2ps -c CMYK -w 12.5 -h 20 -x 1.0 -y 1.5 | lp -dOki

Of course, you can use ghostscript, too.
