Works with some configuration. I used cups and you do have to use the pnm2ppa driver. I'll post a final configuration once I set it up again, been a while since I used mine.

Used for several years now, never had a problem. Just make sure that you install pnm2ppa, or CUPS will claim that it printd, and that the world is a happy place, but nothing will happen with the printer.

All of the features work. (fast printing, bi-directional printing, gamma-correction, etc...)
