I'm afraid there is currently no way to attach this printer to a local
parallel port - the systems are at opposite ends of the network and
premises, and rather immobile.

Suffice it to say that printing does work from Windows (both PostScript
and PCL) as well as from other Linux systems (even ancient SuSE 8,2) and
also locally on the server - which isn't Windows, of course, but the
venerable OS/2 Warp 4.

Moreover, the fact that both the "CUPS v1.2.x Printer Test Page" and
error messages when using the PCL 6 driver, as well as occasional badly
rendered PostScript jobs (only some borders without text), do print over
the network from the freshly installed Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" box,
suggest that this is not a network problem (the reported, unresolved
issue Samba 3 seems to have with OS/2 according to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/112839 concerns
file sharing).
