I've got a BJ300 and was about to post a similar question when I found
this discussion.

I managed to get some output using the epson emulation mode however its
printing in what looks like 360*180 dpi instead of 360*360. that is
everything was twice as tall as it should have been and didn't fit on a
single page. (I'm using RedHat 3.0.3 and setup the printer using the
control-panel).

Something I did notice while reading the printer manual(!) was that in
epson emulation mode the paper size setting on the dip switches of the
printer can only be 11 or 12 inches. (A4 is 11.69 inches) The proprinter
emulation mode supports 11, 12 and 11.69 inch long paper.  The extra
10mm is probably due to the .31 inches of paper missing off the bottom
of an A4 sheet. 

I also tried using bj200 and bj10e drivers but the printer beeped
continuously in protest whenever printing was about to take place,
obviously the wrong drivers.  I had hoped the proprinter driver would
work but no...


I've been looking this morning for some info on creating drivers for
ghostscript (with very little success).  I've been reading the Linux
HOWTO's etc but the best advice is: find a program that outputs okay and
doctor up a filter around that.


Thanks
