Thanks for the replies. I tried magicfilter, utilizing Abe and Stewart's tips concerning the serial
port settings. However, I was still unsuccessful in getting any output. I think it is because the
Stylus Photo 750 is a 6-color printer. Respectively, they had success with the Stylus 800
and 600--both 4-color printers.
I am now attempting to work with gimp-print as Tuomas suggested. The .deb files I saw were
for i386, so I had to opt for the source code. I've been having some difficulty with ld during
the make. Since I'm not sure it is strictly gimp-print or Debian-powerpc related, I'll mention
that I get the message "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgimpui" during make. However if I issue
ldconfig -v, I see the following:
...
/usr/lib:
...
libgimpui.so.1 => libgimpui.so.1.0.4
...
What could cause such an error given the above indication?
In any event, I'll head over to the gimp-print list.
Thanks.

They even include a patched Ghostscript driver (with a .deb build script for debian woody) that does a .deb for that ghostscript automatically. It is a little tricky to setup as there are a lot of options for gs to pass, but it has instructions and they have a mailing list too :o) <br>
