The original error message looks wrong if you specified:
-sDEVICE=djet500
I get your error message only when specifying the device as
-sDEVICE=dj500
On the other hand with the gnu-ghostscript installed here
with a printer device I must specify an output and input or a different error
is anounced. Output does not default to stdout:
-sOutputFile=- -
is required for output to stdout from stdin. By adding this to your command
line it works here with gnu version 6.52_4.
Note that:
gs -h
will list all devices known to your particular installation
of ghostscript.
