Thanks for confirming what I suspected, Ken.  I was just hoping maybe
someone had done this build already.  But figured it was a long shot.  I
built ghostscript once on another system years ago (VOS) and it took some
doing, so not looking forward to trying this on windows.

It 'looks like' the dfaxhigh device has never been built (as standard) on
the Windows version of Ghostscript. It exists (even today) in the Linux
version.

If you like you can find some old versions of Ghostscript here (though we no
longer use SourceForge):

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/files/

Assuming that the device is not built as standard on Windows you will have
to build from source, and modify the makefile manually in order to include
the device.
