Jim,
I'm not sure what version of gs you are using.  Do a 

 $  gs -h

to get a listing of the version and available drivers.  On my
gs 4.0.3 there are more drivers than the gs 2.6.2 that comes 
with the JE distribution.

Here is a listing of possibly relevant devices:

That djet500 might be closer than the deskjet device.
Is it a color printer?
