I'm using Gentoo. I'd like to get the PostScript card for the printer, but I can't find it anywhere. No one sells the damn thing. Then I could set it up just as a standard postscript printer and not worry about all that other crap. I got the latest version of cups, but it doesn't have a driver for the printer. Where did you get the driver for your ML-1250?
