I ended up back with the Adobe PS drivers, after trying (and failing with) the CUPS drivers. I had problems with using 'HP Laserjet PS' drivers, because of the PCL escape on the header, which confused CUPS. Likewise, the Apple Laserwriter had some issue, I can't recall what exactly. I'm looking forward to the new CUPS drivers (based on a newer DDK), when they come out.
