I would install the gs-aladdin out of non-free, along with magicfilter.
It has an HP Deskjet driver added to it that is very nice. Once you
have it installed read the gs-hpdj man page. You will have to modify
the call to gs in your magicfilter scripts. Below is the line that I
use for economy mode on my HP660C.
# PostScript
0 %! filter /usr/bin/gs -q -sDEVICE=hpdj -sModel=560C\
-sColorMode=mono -sPrintQuality=-1 -sMediaType=0 -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -r300\
-sOutputFile -
