Are you sure there is not another?

I did have to download the ppd from www.linuxprinting.org to
`/usr/share/cups/model` before I got the printer working.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it
looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything
technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money
than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
