This is the ftp site (you'll need to use older, wp6 drivers because
that's what their site used to say).

ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/printdrivers/wp6x/

None of the printers you have is specifially mentioned. But I've used in
the past the one for BJC-600 for BJC-1000, and I know it works.

Unfortunately, the site no longer spells it out. But, I recall you'll
need to extract the EXE file with unzip and then had to rename the files
to something else. I simply can't recall what type of naming scheme
you'd need to use. But you might be able to find it mentioned someplace
other than corel. Or maybe you can experiment with it and see if you can
get the naming right that way.

I currently have a BJC-1000. I don't use color for it and I haven't
installed the printer driver in quite some time. I also don't currently
have WP8 installed. But, I've used one of the other drivers with it
before and it worked fine. I can't remember what driver. But it was a
QUME driver or something along that line. I do remember it started with
a Q. I'd imagine the BJC-6000 and BJC-1000 could use the same driver.
Unknown is how color would work.

I'm clueless with any Epson model. But something similar might work.
