Gag me.  (There should be drivers in the gimpprint and ghostscript
distros.  If there are not, then either the printer is really new or
the mfr Doesn't Get It.)

CUPS should be driving Postscript through a third party app such as
Ghostscript or gimpprint.

The point is that it should be possible to specify Postscript options
for a preprocessor such as Ghostscript.

That's because it only has one driver that is visible from
applications, the Windows printer.  I'm pretty sure TO/OS handles
Postscript and PDF with a Postscript-to-winprinter driver (probably
from Adobe).

Heh.  Mozilla is perfectly user-friendly, and needs no docs.  If
you're having problems, check your karma.<wink>
