WHAT IS THE UPGRADE PATH FOR MY PRINTER DRIVER???

I have the Epson C40UX working, but it apears that

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46435

got committed and it broke.  Now I'm scrambling to make my printer work
again.  What I had was the gs binary with the stp driver.  I could see
my printer by name:

$ pkg_info |grep ghosts
ghostscript-afpl-7.04_7 AFPL Postscript interpreter version 7
$ strings gs | grep -i C40UX
escp2-c40ux
EPSON Stylus C40UX

The new gs binary does not have those strings.  Seems I need gimp print
but I really still need stp too.  Now I see this mess:

# pwd
/usr/ports/print/gimp-print/work/gimp-print-4.2.4/src/ghost
# head -30 README.bsd
stp printing with FreeBSD
=========================

by Philipp Huber <uebs@gmx.at> (C) 2000

The Ghostcsript6 Port of FreeBSD does not include the stp driver,
therefore it's necesseray to do some changes by hand :)

First of all, the Ghostscript6 Ports has to be downloaded, extracted and
patching must be done.

         cd /usr/ports/print/ghostscript6
         make patch

After this, download print-4.0b2 (or another version, i did it with this
one) from

         http://download.sourceforge.net/gimp-print/print-4.0b2.tar.gz

Place the file into the workdir of the ghostscript6 port and unzip it:

         cp print-4.0b2.tar.gz /usr/ports/print/ghostscript6/work/gs6.01
         cd /usr/ports/print/ghostscript6/work/gs6.01
         tar xzf print-4.0b2.tar.gz

Follow the directions as described in "Ghost/README":
First, copy all *.c and *.h files into the ghostscript src directory.

         cd print-4.0b2/Ghost
         cp *.c ../../src/


------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHY IS THE STP DRIVER NOT IN THE PORTS TREE BY DEFAULT???

WHY IS THERE NO OPTION TO USE THE STP DRIVER IF IT IS STILL A 
REQUIREMENT FOR MANY PRINTERS???

DO I REALLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS BS EVERY TIME PORTUPGRADE SPITS OUT 
NEW A VERION OF GHOSTSCRIPT?
