I upgraded to the latest ghostscript packages as outlined in the bugzilla
report in an above post. They indeed fixed the missing bjc* devices issue.
It still didn't let me print any test documents though. :( The CUPS
error_log shows absolutely no error messages or the like at all; the
output seems to suggest the print job completed successfully! 

So I tried the turbo print drivers again, and they don't work as well. So,
I opened up http://localhost:631 and tried submitting a test page there.
The message stated that the print job was completed successfully as
well..But still no document spat out of the printer..

Note that this printer works fine on m Winblows 98 box.
I get this funny feeling that there's a simple fix to this..everything
seems to point to this scenario.

Thanks for your continued help guys.
