First, check that your Ghostscript was compiled with the driver for your
printer, which is escp2.  'gs -h' will typically list the available
devices in your executable.  If your compiled version of ghostscript
doesn't support the escp2, you will probably have to compile a new
version from source and include the escp2 driver.

Second, install 'apsfilter' from the ports.  It will configure a print
queue for you that supports postscript on your printer.  It is by far
the easiest way to setup printers on FreeBSD.
