Hi,

Unfortunately, we don't have detailed specifications for this printer, but based on the general
specifications, there's a good chance that an existing driver would work for this printer.  Could
you please do the following (it's not necessary to install the package for this to be done):

1) Print a test page -- this can be done from the front panel controls of the printer, although I
don't know the exact menu options for this model.

2) Take a high resolution photo of the resulting printout (a close photograph with a phone should be
good enough) and email it to me (off-list, please).

The exact pattern of the lines will help me determine what printers might be compatible with it.

Also, we've just released a new package that we believe will be more successful installing on recent
releases of MacOS; you can download it from
