Please refer to the documentation in http://www.ghostscript.com/doc/9.06/Devices.htm#Win

In particular there is an example in section 10.2 with explanation of the parameters that can be specified in section 10.3. Just changing the document name can be done by:

mark /UserSettings <> (mswinpr2) finddevice putdeviceprops setdevice

This can be put into a file as in the example, or can be in a string on the command line following a -c option. If you use -c instead of putting the above PostScript in a setup file, put it in as the last option before -f and the input-filename.

Note: You should not specify the -sDEVICE=mswinpr2 on the command line -- the setdevice takes care of this. I tested this on my laptop with the command line:

gswin32c \
  -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH \
  -c "mark /UserSettings <> (mswinpr2) finddevice putdeviceprops setdevice" \
  -f examples/colorcir.ps
