I'm not sure if this printer is the same as mine (1020), but I think this is a dumb printer, which requires a firware upload each time it is power cycled. Unfortunately in my case, the FreeBSD USB driver had to be modified in order to talk with the printer, as it was not capable of communicating in a USB compliant manner, prior to the firmware upload.
