I had the ghostscript-afpl package printing nicely via this script:
$ cat ~/bin/ps2stylus
#! /bin/sh
if [ $# != 1 ]; then
res=low
else
res=$1
fi
case $res in
low|l)
gs -sDEVICE=stp -sModel=escp2-c40ux -sOutputFile=- -q -
;;
high|h)
gs -sDEVICE=stp -sModel=escp2-c40ux \
-r720hq2 -dBrightness=1.4 \
-sOutputFile=- -q -
;;
glossy|gloss|g)
gs -sDEVICE=stp -sModel=escp2-c40ux \
-r1440x720hq -sOutputFile=- -q -
;;
*)
echo unknown resolution: $1 >&2
esac
Recent "improvements" destroyed that.
ghostscript-afpl-7.04_6 AFPL Postscript interpreter version 7
gimp-print-4.2.1 GIMP Print Printer Driver
cups-1.1.15.1 The Common UNIX Printing System
cups-base-1.1.15.1_1 The Common UNIX Printing System
cups-lpr-1.1.15.1_1 The CUPS BSD and system V compatibility binaries
cups-pstoraster-7.05.3 GNU Postscript interpreter for CUPS printing to non-PS

Now I'm lost again. Seems not even sure if support for my printer is out there
at all anymore.

Where do I go for docs?
With the printer online and idle I get:

Was this upgrade actually tested?
How do I print with my once functional printer?
