I think I've solved the problem by changing the mkfile from:
src/plan9.mak: src/unixansi.mak /sys/src/cmd/gs/contrib9.mak
to
src/plan9.mak: src/unixansi.mak /sys/src/cmd/gs/contrib9.mak\
src/contrib.mak
in addition to adding okiibm to the DRIVERS section. Now 'gs -h'
includes okiibm, and a remotely-performed lp command has completed
without errors; when I get home at 6 I'll be able to see if it worked
or not.
