Drivers for Canon BJC-1000 printer

I have a very old printer Canon BJC-1000. I understand that Canon do not have drivers for Mac OS and Apple is using Gimp-Print 5.0.0 beta2. However, my prints are all black and white despite I am using a colour cartridge. Is there a ny better driver?. I would like to try the latest release of drivers from this third party company: Gutenprint 5.0.0 cr2... will it work?
Any help will be much appreciated...
