Well either way you (along with Ekimia) will need to follow the guidance in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems

What we don't know is if this is the same bug as the one I have - I got it working for a while as a network connection but that's decided to fail as well. If it's the same bug then that increases the chances of it getting fixed as it's affecting more than one person. The more data available, the greater the chance of getting this one fixed.

For me I'm planning to have another charge at this - I refuse to be beaten by this stupid problem and I won't see it pushing me back towards Windows. So I'll be trying post #32 and seeing where Till's work takes this problem.

However the same fundamental problem is still there. When I connect this printer up directly via USB, Ubuntu tells me that there's a bug:

"The action is not supported by this backend. Please report a bug as this should not have happened. Provides postscript-driver not supported"
