11 Sorry for the late response, I had some ideas last night.......

13 Here are 4 packages/flags/protocols that you should research and
14 see if they work. If Debian or Ubuntu have this printer working,
15 it would be keen to put one of those machines and your printer
16 on an isolated subnet and run wireshark to see what protocols
17 are at work.

19
20 avahi\zeroconf
21 dbus
22 foomatic
23 snmp (snmpwalk, snmpget,
24 net-analyzer/mbrowse
25
26 Also connect to the 'embedded web server' built into most
27 modern printers. First setup the IP address of the printer
28 from the printer menu, then ping the printer from your linux
29 system (fills arp table) and then type in the IP address
30 from your browser on your linux system and the printers web server
31 should respond. Maybe something needs to be turned on from
32 the menu system in the printer's embedded web server?
33
34 Have wireshark running on another linux system to sniff the sessions.
35 Isolate (filter) wireshark to the protocol(s) you want to capture/study.
36
37 SNMP might also give you clues as to the error. You are most likely
38 just missing something simple (at least once you discover the
39 problem).....
