 Replying to [comment:2 laplace]:
 > Out of curiosity, why do you want to use the driver from BeOS R5. Isn't
 the Haiku PCL5 driver at least on par?

 The printer is PCL4 and the BeOS R5 driver is known to work correctly.
 The Haiku PCL5 driver outputs incorrectly for the printer.

 As an example, instead of a StyledEdit page of text with 1 inch margins,
 it will actually print the first paragraph over and over down the page
 with text cut off by the left and right margins.  This is why I wanted to
 try the R5 driver.
