Check your documentation, if your printer supports "postscript" or
"PCL". If Yes, then choose the 'postscript' driver or 'ljet4'
respectively (or something similar).
If not, then maybe you're out of luck, since your model also does not
appear on http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi
Check the driver CD for your printer for any file that is a plain
asci-file and ends in .ppd [1] This file will be the main
'configuration' file to be copied to /etc/cups/ppd during installation.
HTH,
