I can ping the ip and the hostname.

I can telnet and adjust the settings.

When I try to print, the queue does not go down. It says ready after
issuing this command:

lp -dQUEUENAME testprint.file

Unfortunately, nothing comes out of the printer.

I suspect I need an OKI print driver... I cannot test this anymore
until Monday as the printer is at work and I have no way of knowing if
something spit out it or not.
