I browsed to etc/cups/ppd and found a driver that seemed to match my printer. It seems to work. I'm testing it now, but I forgot to change the resolution from the default 180 x 180 (or whatever). It's taking about 5 minutes to print the test page. I did this before, and after changing to a properly supported resolution (360 or 720) it is printing quickly and beautifully. Try changing your resolution to something higher. It might just work.
