1 The printer is old and seemingly unsupported in most areas as I could
2 not find a Windows or Mac OSX driver, and none of the linux drivers have
3 worked. I've tried ghostscript's ljet4, the various Postscript PCLs;
4 actually, I've tried every one of them. I've established a proper
5 connection, and that it is indeed using ipp. It's connected to the
6 router, so the URI is just ipp://10.0.1.1:9100, it's very straight
7 forward. However, it's just been spitting out printed information with
8 each connection, so I've had to stop CUPS after a couple minutes, just
9 to make it stop printing random garbage.

11 Now, the printer is unusable from the Mac and Linux machines in the
12 house, where it was at one time working from the Mac. Suggestions for a
13 proper setup and driver?
