That is easier now that I see that CUPS copies the PPD file to
/etc/cups/interfaces and renames it to match the
printer name.

The printer supports BR-Script 3. CUPS offers three
Postscript drivers in the Generic menu.
Generic PostScript Level 1 Printer Foomatic/Postscript 1 (recommended en)
Generic PostScript Printer (en)
Generic PostScript Printer Foomatic/Postscript (recommended en)
I suppose I can try them out....
