You need to import the printer's PPD file (probably on the CD that came 
with it) into pscript.drv

There's an overview on how to do this at 
http://svn.netlabs.org/ecups/wiki/AddPpdFiles or if you have an eCS 
Software Subscription, you can download instpdr from the betazone to 
make this process easier

Cheers,

Paul.
