I used a MPC-2500 for a few years on my Linux box (the printer part is supposedly indentical to a bjc-4100). I never tried color with magicfilter, but it printed color fine with apsfilter. The filters in apsfilter are all symlinks to a single filter and the printer name is derived from the name of the symlink to determine the proper printer name for the -sDevice= parameter of ghostscript. What I did was to install apsfilter with for a different printer and then rename the various symlinks to use bjc600 instead. It's possible that the version of ghostscript you are using was improperly configured for color with the bjc600 driver. I recall that Red Hat had one with that problem a few years ago. I understand that getting all the drivers configured and compiling ghostscript is not trivial. You might try a different version. I had so much trouble with the Canon printheads drying up (sometimes after printing less than 50 pages) that I went back to my HP DJ520 (which is somewhat better, but still not great in that respect).
