The following is a step by step guide on how to set up a Canon BubbleJet printer under Solaris using Ghostscript 5.50. This is specifically for the Canon BJC 4310SP, however other models should be similar, it will be case of replacing the device ( bjc600 ) with an appropriate one.

1. Get, compile and install ghostscript, etc
2. Create colour adjusting file /opt/local/share/ghostscript/5.50/gamma.ps.
