I got a BJC-2000 working after hacking magicfilter's bj600-filter.  I
submitted a bug with a patch to the Debian bug reporting system, but
for some reason bug #46200 is no longer available.  So I attach the
patch in the hope that it will help with the BJC-1000.  Check "gs -h"
for other print drivers that you might use.
