Description Michael Nottebrock 2003-08-16 10:50:13 UTC 
	Ghostscript (both AFPL and GNU versions) contain the hl1240/hl1250 drivers
	(provided by gdev12c.c), but the hl1240 and hl1250 devices are missing in the
	configuration dialog of the port. The driver used to be non-compilable in
	earlier releases, but seems to be fixed now. The attached patch is against
	ghostscript-gnu, it should probably work for ghostscript-afpl as well, which,
	I haven't tested yet.

	I was being conservative with the supported hardware in the configuration dialog
	and stuck to what's reported as supported by apsfilter and the driver sources.
	According to linuxprinting.org, this driver supports quite a number of other
	printers as well though. I myself use it with a HL-1430, which isn't mentioned by
	apsfilter or the driver sources, but works perfectly.

	I'm filing this PR in oder to remind myself to update the ports properly when I
	have time to test the changes more thoroughly.
