If you look at http://www.ccsi.canon.com/care/downloads/arrays.html and
select 'BJC-50' you'll find some interesting information.
Under the "Bubble Jet driver for xxxx" it says that the BJC-50 is
not listed in the DOS driver, so select the BJC-4300.
Well, Ghostscript has a BJC600 that supports the BJC4000 series apparently
so you might just be in luck. :)

I think they probably are, but the language for the color printers is sure
to be different from the mono. :) Ghostscript appears to support either.

Well, just install magicfilter from pkgsrc and you should be able to
easily print Postscript from Netscape.
