Notwithstanding OPO's value judgement we use these things as network printers for a wide variety of computers, some of which are much older than the printers. One of their uses is to produce cheques and to replace them for this purpose requires re-certification of the replacements. So, they are not going anywhere until they absolutely no longer work. Under CentOS-6 we use CUPS -1.4.2 with a PPD for these printers which was sourced from some forgotten place but which works very well for us. On FreeBSD we use CUPS -2.2.3 and the PPD we have works not quite so well. It works to the extent that the printers print but we cannot 'see' their advanced features in the CUPS Browser. There are fields created in the page display which are likely for this but they are not populated with options. This is a bit esoteric for me. Is there anyone on the list that either has a working PPD for this model printer that they are willing to share; or is willing, for a fee, to revise the PPD we already have so that it works with FreeBSD?
