I have an stylus 600 and had the same result as you when trying the
stcolor driver.

Install the gs-aladdin package (filename for libc5 version is
gs-aladdin_5.03-0.99_i386.deb, I found it somewhere on an italian
server) and call gs like:

        gs @stc500p.upp ...

The stc500p.upp response file will select the uniprint driver with the
correct options.  There is also an stc500ph.upp file.  Please read the
devices.txt file in /usr/doc/gs for more information.
