I am not familiar with the 1200, but assuming that it is a newer
version of the 1100, it should use the ljet4 driver of gs. I would
recommend installing magicfilter and selecting the ljet4 filter.
You might also consider the Lexmark Optra E312, which is in the same
price range (~$400), but includes PostScript capability as well as PCL.
I bought one of these several months ago, based on the recommendation
at http://www.linuxprinting.org and am quite pleased with it.
