We have had Imagerunner 3300 (I think they were) printers, and now we have IRC2880i's. Generally I have used the printers via jetdirect and configured as PCL5e (basically because the only imagerunner driver offered before was for something like a 330 and that didn't work well but PCL5e did - it did duplexing).
Unfortunately my work PC is on FC8 while my home PC is on F10, and the printer is on the work PC. Ironically I now see that here is an IR3300 driver (in foomatic) in F10, and an IR2800. However, with FC8 I only have access to drivers like the IR2270 and IRC3200. I have tried using these drivers, but, as with you, they don't print in colour. I'll play a little more when I get back in work tomorrow. It may be that I can rebuild foomatic from F10 on my FC8 system, or just copy the relevant Image-runner files across. In your case I notice that the C5185i driver under F10 uses the pxlcolor driver, but under FC8 it seems to use the mono driver. On our RHEL5 system there are no such drivers (for IR), but just the IR330s driver. So what O/S are you using?
