mp model).  Pick a printer that closely resembles it, and make sure it's 
using the 'hpijs' driver.

If the printer is the mp model and has PS, just download the PPD file from 
Xerox and either a) put that in /usr/share/cups/model and use 'lpadmin' to 
add the printer or b) ISTR seeing a "import PPD" option somewhere in the 
system-config-printer tool.
