If you get a copy of Alladin ghostscript then it has a driver for
the bjc-4200 and will do all of the fancy stuff for you.  I can't
remember Alladin's URL, probably www.alladin.com.  With GNU
ghostscript there is a driver for the bjc-800 that will do colour,
but not the extra stuff for the bjc-4200.

On the set-up side, if you have Redhat then there is a printer
setup icon in the controll pannel.  For other systems you'll
probably have to create an /etc/printcap entry and then add the
appropriate magicfilter.  I can't remember exactly how to do
it, but it's all laid out in the Printer-HOWTO.
