I'll just paste this back in (and I've deleted the original query):

I use one or two extra options with my 895c, but also run it through
lpr/magic-filter so you'll have to extract the parameters from my
gs-aladdin filter file:
# PostScript
0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE \
-r300 -sDEVICE=hpdj -sModel=unspec -sColorMode=CMYK -sMediaType=plain \
-sPrintQuality=draft -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2
0 \004%! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE \
-r300 -sDEVICE=hpdj -sModel=unspec -sColorMode=CMYK -sMediaType=plain \
-sPrintQuality=draft -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" - 3>&1 1>&2
# PDF
0 %PDF fpipe /usr/bin/gs -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE \
-r300 -sDEVICE=hpdj -sModel=unspec -sColorMode=CMYK -sMediaType=plain\
-sPrintQuality=draft -sOutputFile=\|"cat 1>&3" $FILE 3>&1 1>&2
I find the dj550c filter suggested earlier is far too inky. Change
draft to normal or best (and set up two queues) if you find draft
is *too* light. The last saves a lot of ink, though.
(One day I'll sit down and try to parse all that output redirection!)
Cheers,
