I'm not sure why a printing context needs to keep track of gstate info?
A PostScript file doesn't need to keep track of state info, it just
'stores' the postscript commands in the order it receives them. I
suspect any changes you need to make to support what you're thinking of
should be implemented in the front-end, as even a true Postscript
backend would need the same changes.
