Jason, Mark,
A follow up and final on this.  I finally got my printer to work 
properly.  I did the following to get there.
1) Downloaded omni-0.7.2.  Configured, compiled, installed AOK. 
libomni.so showed up in /opt/omni/lib.  Mark, I had a small proplem 
here.  I deleted all the printers in devices.mak except Panasonic, and 
the compile failed with some error related to Hewlett Packard.  I add HP 
back to devices.mak and compile went OK.
2) Downloaded espgs-7.05.5 from the CVS, did a makesrcdist, replaced my 
version in /var/spool/sorcery.  An install(cast -r -c) of espgs then 
configured, compiled, and installed OK.
3) Reviewed all my cupsomatic and PPD stuff
4) Printed a simple text file OK
5) Tried the test print in CUPS, and it failed looking for a particular 
font.
6) Investigation showed the standard ghostscript fonts had disappeard. 
Probably because espgs install had done away with them.
7) Installed(cast -r -c) ghostscript-fonts-std, and the CUPS test , 
print a test page, worked.

Jason, it appears the espgs spell needs to be upgraded for the omniprint 
driver.  You copy?
