How do you have it set up? I have a BJC-1000, which uses the BJC-600/610
driver. I named my queue Canon. I shared it to an NT box, On NT I
selected the shared printer queue name and chose the BJC-600 driver.
Works fine.

What browser? An older mozilla release (about version 0.9.2 or maybe a
little earlier) gave me black splotches on the pages. A single page
might get printed as 3 or 4 with a long 1-2 inch black bar from top to
bottom on all of the pages, but only the part I wanted printed on the
very first one.

Another thing could be the settings. I don't know what driver you use,
but I know for my own it has various different settings for color and
print quality under Driver Options, I think it is called.

Sorry, I don't have any first-hand knowledge on this printer and can't
offer more than I mentioned above.
