Strange that ESP Ghostscript thingy:
Tons of devices, but no doc or examples! 8-)

I recommend using hpijs.
The client part (ijs) is already compiled into your ghostscript.
So you only need to install the server part (hpijs).

I have a 970cxi and none the built-in drivers worked.
Now I'm using hpijs and everything seems to be fine (although I couldn't try
the color modes of the latest versions because I ran out of color ink).
