   I don't know the printer, but is it a PCL printer?  If yes the HP PCL driver   
   might work, also check the Haiku web site for the PCL5 and PCL6 drivers.  One   
   other thing since I don't know the printer.  Most printers today automaticly   
   switch for diffirent printer drivers but not all - check the manual to see if   
   you have to set the printer to diffirent modes use the diffirent drivers.   
   Also note there is a PostScript driver in BeOS, but the printer may say Apple   
   or Mac Compatible instead of PostScript.   
      
   So the first thing is to check your maunal to see what printer lanuages your   
   printer supports directly.   
      
   Sorry, if it is a WinPrinter you can't get it to work outside of Windows.
