(I get a cruddy colour one if I select gimp drivers) I guess this should have been asked on -questions, but anyway: I guess that you will probably get your printer to produce some good color output using ghostscript's "djc970" driver. It works really great with the DeskJet 970 (in case anyone wondered where its name comes from), as well with the DekJet 930C, as I have learned recently after buying that printer. I guess that the djc970 would probably work well with any DeskJet from the 900 line, so you should probably try it out!
