The last version (january 1991) of sun2ps.c posted recently in alt.sources
should do what you want. 

sun2ps.c converts mono and color rasterfiles into PostScript. I am going to
test this version and will make it available later , with my own
modifications (print at 75 dpi not 72dpi, support of A4 paper, man page) on
irisa.irisa.fr, cd Postscript. 

NOTE: i am not the author of sun2ps, only a user (and a local maintainer).
