At any rate, I have a binary gs 2.6.2 under > ftp://gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de/incoming/gs > which has the stylus driver built in. The Ghostscript 3.51 SOURCE has the Stylus Color driver in it. The pre-compiled package and port do NOT enable it by default. If you want this driver you will have to compile the Ghostscript yourself (i.e. DO NOT even use the ports directory for it).
