ghostscript driver is supported. Newer printers like EPSON stylus are supported by ghostscript 3.51 which is in the FreeBSD
While this one is up again, I have a friend with an Epson Stylus COLOR. We pulled off that port and the Stylus drivers are *NOT* in there.
While they might not be compiled in, they *are* available if you re-compile Ghostscript. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work properly, as GhostScript either (a) Bombed when using the ESC2P driver, or (b) spat lots of blank pages out when using the Stylus Color Driver.
Still haven't tried a few things to get it working (Alladin's OS/2 Ghostscript compile works just fine), but it's been annoying me for over a month, especially since I can do a lpr manpage.1 and get a wonderful printout on my HP Deskjet 540.
Don't know if I mentioned it before or not, but MagicFilter (a "Linux" package) works quite well under BSD. I really ought to e-mail the author and see if he'll consider putting in the effort to make it a BSD port as well.
