That one exactly.  Prints like a charm.

What exactly is the problem?  The only gotcha I remember was
needing to switch the port to polled mode (``lptcontrol -p'') to
prevent insanely slow printing.

[Incidentally, the supplied Windows driver probably goes
absolutely nuts with the polling, since printing anything from
Windows makes the rest of the computer slow to the point of
inusability].

I'd suggest your problem might not be with the printer itself
(assuming the printer is known good).
