I suggest using the Alladin Ghostscript in non-free. It has some new
drivers for the Deskjet family of printers. The deb package has them
included. The available drivers are cdjmono, cdeskjet, cdjcolor,
cdj500, cdj550, deskjet, djet500, djet500c. I uset the cdj550 for
mono and color printing by changing the -dBitsPerPixel option of
ghostview.
You might want to look into using apsfilter or magicfilter to setup
different printer names for color, b/w, etc.
