Probably the easiest way to go is to use Ghostscript to scan-convert
PostScript files into a format compatible with your HP color printer.
For information on how to do this, see either

	file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html
	http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html

and click on ``Advanced Printer Setup'' and then on ``Simulating
PostScript on Non-PostScript Printers''.
