Hmmm, that's a weird one. I have a Canon BJC-250, and use the Canon drivers
available on the Aminet, and it all works quite nicely. The only caveat
was expending an entire color cartridge trying to get the color settings
right. =:)

One thing you might want to check is what emulation your driver is trying to
use. Canon BJ's are nice printers, but are apparently incapable of
printing text and graphics on the same page - or in the same emulation. If
you are trying to print graphics, make sure yor driver is set to use the BJ
instruction set, vice the Epson emulation, as the latter only does text.
