I eventually forgot the name. > I used pkg_delete to start over. When i checked the /usr/ports/print/ghostscript3/work/gs3.53/ directory I could not locate epson .dev, eps9mid & eps9high.dev. So instead of hacking 3.53, I went to the ports collection and downloaded 4.03. 4.03 includes a great user friendly config prg to select the printer drivers without having to hack the makefile directly. For a newbie, this works great. Thanks for the help. Burton.
