I have a BJC 4400 working in both grayscale and colour without any problems. 
For the grayscale driver use
EXTRA_GS_OPTIONS="-sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray"

For colour, just tell it 24 bpp and it's happy.

BTW, this is RH 5.2, and ghostscript 4.03 (which comes with Red Hat 5.2).

FYI, we have a shareware program available on our WWW site
(http://www.affinitiy-systems.ab.ca/software) called bjc-tool.  It has
support for all the win features such as head cleaning, test prints, auto
on and auto power off.

Regards,
Jim
