Hmm, strange, I have the 850C and I found that the colour deskjet drivers
available with ghostscript worked fine for colour. Its a while since i've
used the printer (I switched to a laser jet), so I cant remember exactly which
colour deskjet driver worked (there are about half a dozen from memory), but
some quick experimentation should quickly show you.
