I have not checked this, but it looks like that only the ghostscript6
port has this driver.

If its a native gs6 driver, then no way, you need gs6.

If its a 3rd party driver: I have currently no plans in merging all
gs6 3rd party drivers into gs55.

Is there a demand ? Licensing issues ? AFAIK gs6.x is only free for
personal use. And gs55 ?

[ Cc'd to freebsd-ports ]

Does somebody have already looked deeper into gs license issues ?
