I have a DJ660C, and it works perfectly.  I use the Deskjet 550C
driver (cdj550) for Ghostscript, and it works great.  I'm also using
"magicfilter" (from sunsite), which automatically converts Postscript
(and .dvi files, and most graphics formats) to the right format before
printing.  All you have to do is type 'lpr psfile.ps' and it prints
right.  Highly recommended, and easy to set up.
