What language does this printer use? I am a big fan of the minimalistic BSD LPD/R, so I usually just whip up an output filter that cats everything (since just about every app natively prints as postscript these days [besides gimp-app I guess]) to ghostscript. Works for basically any printer with PCL or PS support (actually, with some of the the elcheapo PS imitations out there, usually PCL5/XL works better). To me, CUPS/Foomatic comes with some fancy PPDs and filters, but I think a lot of that is bloated since it does similar things under the hood but wrapped in more layers of magic...
