Canon BJC-255SP printing set-up problems with CUPS

[Matt H.]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to setup my Canon BJC-255SP printer locally (/dev/lp0) with the
CUPS printing sub-system. Has anyone got this printer (or similar) working?

redhat-config-printer successfully installed it, but test jobs are not
working (i.e. nothing prints!).

The output of /var/log/cups/error_log suggests that the device used,
"bjccolor" is unknown. `gs -h` confirms this and the only similar device
available would probably be "bjc600". 

Errors:
 
D [09/Mar/2004:18:31:51+1000] [Job 7] renderer command: gs -q -dBATCH 
-dPARANOIDSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=bjccolor-sPrinterType=BJC-250'
D[09/Mar/2004:18:31:51 +1000] [Job 7] foomatic-gswrapper: gs'-dBATCH'
'-dPARANOIDSAFER' '-dQUIET''-dNOPAUSE''-sDEVICE=bjccolor''-sPrinterType=.. 
D[09/Mar/2004:18:31:51+1000] [Job 7] Unknown device: bjccolor

Ultimately, I always end up with this error every time:
D [09/Mar/2004:18:31:51 +1000] [Job 7] Possible error on renderer command
line or PostScript error. Check options.
E [09/Mar/2004:18:31:51 +1000] PID 1966 stopped with status 3!

Some googling suggests to install ESP Ghostscript instead of GNU
Ghostscript (which supposedly has "bjccolor" compiled in) but all
attempts to do this fail with dependency issues. The error above also
suggests to "check options", but damned if I knew where!

I've never been able to set up this printer properly in all RH versions in
the past, despite the linuxprinting DB specifying this printing as status
"works perfectly". ROFL..

*Any help/ideas/suggestions/etc would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
