I just tried the above invocation, and it worked fine for me -
including installing the "gsnd" script. So, no, sorry, no idea.

The omni device hasn't functioned correctly since I have been involved
with Ghostscript and with no way to tests fixes, we aren't in a
position to fix it. Thus we decided to remove it from the default
build. It also uses the (long!) deprecated async device API. We were
asked (I can't recall by whom) a few years ago to leave it as an
option in case anyone was using it. It would seem not, and now we've
removed the async device code, I think omni is going to suffer the
same fate.
