Sorry, I didn't read your message carefully enough. You can try to apply the same trick to delete lines from that ps file. First just look inside the file with your preferred text editor, and then you can try a suitable find&replace procedure.
However, I strongly advice you to use the datafile with the bands in the "xmgrace" format (which is nothing else than a pair of columns, one containing the "distance" along the path in k-space, the other the KS eigenvalues) and feed it to gnuplot (or another plotting program). Then you can select the postscript terminal and plot the file with any style you want (e.g. plot 'datafile' using 1:2 with points pt 2 ps 1).
