That's rather non-free software, but it should work.

If you prefer a free solution, you could try a newer release of
Gimp-Print (now Gutenprint):
http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/gutenprint/sid/5.0.0-beta3/gutenprint-5.0.0-beta3.tar.bz2
This is a snapshot of the forthcoming 5.0.0-beta3 release. It has
proper support for the CX6600.
