I've been inspired to make my printer work:

# Epson Stylus Color 800.
epsonstylus800|Stylus Color 800:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
	:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
	:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
	:sh:mx#0:
	
	
# Ghostscript
ps|Ghostscript driver:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
	:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
	:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
	:mx#0:sh:if=/usr/local/libexec/lpfilter-ps:

The Ghostscript entry and code for lpfilter-ps are blatantly plagerized from:

http://www.mclink.it/personal/MG2508/nbsdeng/chap-print.html#AEN1300

Many thanks to Federico Lupi for providing this guide.

Is there a repository for Ghostscript DEVICE files?  If possible I would
like to find a more complete one for an Epson Stylus Color 800.

  Thanks,
   Dave Chapman
