Cool.

I am trying to find a way to get the correct color out of the printer
without manually running gs.  I don't think I can achieve this on
winders at all, so the printer will be directly connected to the Debian box.

I haven't been there recently, nor really looked for that printer
before.  I'll check it out soon.

Yep, using ghostscript with 'bjc600' specified as the DEVICE produces
the correct byte stream, except that I need to run it manually and
direct the stream to /dev/printers/0.  I want CUPS to do this
automagically when a request is received from the windows client.

Thanks for the info.
