Rick,
Would it therefore be correct to assume that  "Printer supports direct text printing with the 'us-ascii' charset." is in essence saying that a printer requires "just a PostScript driver?"
By the way, by what name would one specify the "
the bog-standard regular PostScript driver you get automatically with CUPS?"


Thank you for taking the time to shed some light on this subject.

Let's try that.  http://www.openprinting.org/printers, pick Xerox, pick
3250D.  Goes to a page specific to that printer, where there's a
'Contrib' link to Xerox's page where you can download some secret-sauce 
dowload... except that it says it's just a PostScript driver, makes one wonder if using the bog-standard regular PostScript driver you
get automatically with CUPS might be just fine.
