It is connected via a USB port, and it responds momentarily when I send anything directly to /dev/ulpt0. I would appreciate the correct parameters for ghostscript - I think it should work with device ijs and 'server' ijsgimpprint, which has been installed in /usr/local/bin. Some of the instructions recommend CUPS and FooMatic, and seem much more complicated than I ought to need for a local installation. I tested the printer with Windows, and it does work.
