"Unknown device: stp" when using Foomatic/gimp-print

Thanks to Kurt, my previous problem has been resolved. I am now using the 8.15.2 version of ESP Ghostscript with my BJC-250, and it's working.

But now I've got a new question. If I use the CUPS+gimp-print.v4.2.7 drivers, everything is fine. But if I configure my BJC-250 using the Foomatic/gimp-print drivers, I get the following error:

...and sure enough, no 'stp' device appears when I look at the devices listed by 'gs -h', and I can't find any configure options that reference it.

Assuming it can be done, how to I get ghostscript to recognize '-sDEVICE=stp' ? Or is this driver just not usable?

System is OpenSuSE 10.0.
