There's also PR docs/36796 which documents the same thing.
From what I can ascertain, this seems to be a general gs problem with
the selectdevice command - output from trying to select a device is below.
I came to this conclusion by trying to hack ps2epsi to fix the problem.
Unfortunately I don't really know any ghostscript to troubleshoot this any
further than I already have. I did try downgrading the port but couldn't
get it to build for some reason.
My ghostscript-gnu port is the standard build, but using -DA4.
Note that the "selectdevice" command below fails for every device that I tried.
