This isn't a magicfilter (or apsfilter) problem, it's a ghostscript
problem. You need to tweak the filter to invoke ghostscript with the
color desktjet driver. For magicfilter, copy deskjet-filter to
cdeskjet-filter, then edit the cdeskjet-filter to change the gs lines
from "-sDEVICE=deskjet" to "-sDEVICE=cdeskjet". I'm not positive that
cdjeskjet the correct device name; it might be cdjcolor. If you check
the -questions archives, it's been discussed before by people with
color deskjets.
