I have still this problem.
Scenario 1 : I install the pxlmono driver I can print. Gnome-print is OK.

Scenario 2 : I install the postscript driver (the PPD-file from the Windows installation). I can print from the commandline any postscript-file with lp -d infotec xxx.ps. If I like to print a Postscript-file gnome-print, the Infotecprinter prints nothing and in the error-file is a message like : print interrupted by user.

Scenario 3 : I "clean" the Postscript-file in the command-line with ps2ps. The printer print it now.
The problem is, when I like to print for ex. a Evolution-message (gedit, ...), I must first print this message in a Postscript-file. Then ps2ps and at the end I can print it. It's not very ergonomique.
I can use the pxlmono-driver but the quality is not the same. Sometime he loos fonts and ...
I think, the printer understand Postscript and it is better to use this language.
