It didn’t take long for me to get lpr to print to it. That was a snap. Just install the foo2hp ports as described on Mike’s page (or rather, links from Mike’s page), and then follow the instructions for lpr, substituting the name of the PPD in the example given. What I could not figure out is how to get lpr to print color without resorting to using a wrapper shell script (one was included in foo2hp that would probably have worked) or having to directly pipe things through gs or whatever. I ended up just going back to using cups, because it takes all of 5 minutes to set up just how I want it.
