'gs -h|grep bj200' shows if support is built into your copy of gs.

#for postscript
ps
 :if=/usr/local/bin/bj200-filter
 :lp=/dev/lp1
 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
 :mx%0
 :sh
lp
 :lp=/dev/lp1
 :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
 :mx%0
 :sh

Then the command:

lpr -Pps <filename>

will get your bj200 singing.

You may also have to read how to set up lpd and friends.  That info is
in the 'lpd' distribution.

'Magicfiler' requires 'gs' (ghostscript) installed with the bj200
driver compiled in.
