Hmm. I don't think that Ghostscript already supports the dj660c, but I
have no doubt that it will be added sooner or later. Ghostscript is
a Postscript interpreter and the combination dvips and Ghostscript
provide excellent output and easy incorporation of graphics.

The standard method to print images with UNIX are ghostscript and an
image processing package like netpbm.
