Isaac,
You can use Ghostscript version 3.33. I used it a lot to print on an HP 
DeskJet 560C color printer.
Together with this, you can use the magicfilter package which solves all 
your printing problems.

With these 2 packages, you can print any Level 2 PostScript color file 
just by typing 'lpr file.ps'. With magicfilter, you can even print .gif, 
.dvi etc... just by typing 'lpr file.dvi' etc.
