I'll confirm that doing so did allow me to print a PDF from evince
correctly although the printer seems to be left in an odd state and it
takes quite some time to spool the job.  Any of the generic PCL drivers
expand the printed area enough that header and footer text is lost.  The
Foomatic Generic Postscript printer seems to take less time to spool but
also results in a blank sheet.

So, it would appear the Generic PostScript Level 1 Printer
Foomatic/Postscript1 does work.  It's just slow.

Thanks!
