Ugh. I have no idea, either. How would I figure this out? I was unable
to print to this printer from the server, sharing it with Windows
Networking and adding it to CUPS as a Samba printer--no driver available
for this model. I was able to print to it from other Windows boxes on
the network (now that's an unusual situation for me--I generally do much
better getting things to work in Linux...).

However, in the Anzio terminal, things I printed using the simple
"passprt" script in the Anzio white paper printed just fine--so anything
I could send to stdin I was able to print.

Is there a generic printer type I can set PFPRTC to, to have it print
back through the connection?

I'm now remote, but could set this up and have them test...

Thanks,
