	That's the advantage of having a printer with native PS support. You don't 
have to fool around with foomatic printer drivers. I can print directly (raw) 
to the CL3000e from any application with supports PS. To gain access to 
advanced features all you need to do is have a good PPD file for the printer 
and load it into CUPS.
