I am successfully using the Stylus Color 600 with magicfilter. I am using Aladdin Ghostscript from non-free if that makes any difference. Here's the relevent section from my /etc/printcap: lp|st600|stylus600|Epson Stylus Color 600:\ :lp=/dev/lp1:sd=/var/spool/lpd/stylus600:\ :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ :if=/usr/sbin/stcolor-filter:\ :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: and I modified the LQ series filter to get /usr/sbin/stcolor-filter by changing the arguments for gs in the postscript section to: -dMAGSTEP=0.5 -dMicroWeave -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=stcolor -sOutputFile=- /usr/lib/ghostscript/4.03/stcolor.ps- As far as I can remember, this was all that it took.
