I'm not an expert.
The difference between ESP Ghostscript and GNU (now GPL) Ghostscript is
the additional CUPS raster and the outdated stp device. The stp driver
exists now outside of ESPGS under the name Gimp-Print. Like the stp driver
there are a lot of other superfluous drivers, e. g. for old HP inkjet printers. I hope you are able to displace them one after the other as
you need.
