It was on my to-do list for ages, too. I struggled to find decent
documentation for configuring the /etc/printcap file and such.. In the
end, though, it turned out to be a no-brainer to do.

 #magicfilterconfig

Follow the prompts. Easy. There's a goodly range of printers covered,
including the Stylus Color IIs (the colour driver, I'd imagine) and the
Stylus 800 (the B&W one, which I configured my Color IIs to use).

Best of luck.
