Printer using Cyan instead of Black



I just set up a Xerox DocuPrint C15 printer with kind help from Björn
Brill (thanks) and others.  Now I can print plain text and postscript, but
postscript keeps using cyan instead of black (whereas plain text files
print ok).

Details:

- Xerox DocuPrint C15 colour printer

- can emulate HP DeskJet 500C, 550C and 690C (and, according to Xerox
  helpline, others... )

- software installed: lpr/lpd, gs-aladdin 5.50-8 and magicfilter 1.2-39

- My /etc/printcap (right now it's using the 690 filter, but I've tried
  all dj* filters):

lp|xerox|XeroX Docuprint C15:\
        :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/xerox:\
	:sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
	:if=/etc/magicfilter/dj690c-filter:\
	:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:

Now, for postscript, both printing from GV and from the command line
through 'lpr file.ps' give me CYAN.  Same thing for pdf files through
acrobat.  I also tried printing a file.html from netscape, and the
result is the same:  if I choose colour I get cyan for the black, and if
grayscale cyan for everything.

Can anyone help with this, please?
