%d instructs gs to "burst" the document, one file to a page;
e.g.,
# gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=epsonc -sOutputFile=foo.page-%d.pdf
produces foo.page-1.pdf, foo.page-2.pdf, etc.
To do what you want, try using psselect (from the psutils package):
# gs -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=epsonc -sOutputFile='|psselect -p5' | lpr
