I have committed ghostscript-7.05.5 to portage.  It is currently masked.  
Please test the ebuild and report back on this bug with your experience.
This ebuild was modified to remove the unneeded lexmark comments, added gimp-
print, omni, and IJS support to the ebuild.

This ebuild is working great for me.  I haven't been doing physical printing, but I've been doing a variety of different file conversions.  The ghostscript-7.05.3-r1 ebuild didn't include the bbox device for some reason, which is why I decided to try the new one.  Thanks.

Please adjust the deps so i don't need to install gnome-libs *shiver*.. gimp-print is a new dependency, which wasn't in the previous one, but i think it's obsolete.

Works great for me. I have no Lexmark printer, but a Canon S450. For this
printer I need gimp-print[-cups]. At least, it didn't worked without it: no
output at all. I print via CUPS to a Samba print-server, so all the ghostscript
processing (rastering) has to be done on my machine. For a test, I have printed
in different resolutions, everything is fine now :-)

ghostscript-7.05.5 has been released into portage.  Enjoy!
