	I don't know any particulars for that printer, but what gs
driver are you using? There are tons of them for ghostscript, but if you
just have plain colours and need not use any dithering or stuff, you
might use the cdj550c (which seems to work with everything). The quality
is poor when dithering and all, but it's already installed.

	I tried looking into it, but couldn't suss out what the best way
of doing this was. Sorry, I guess it's just downloading the source for
gs and the hp tarball, and seeing what each says about the other...
