I followed the instructions on linxprinting.org and got it to work under CUPS using the foo2zjs filter. It was a pain to make it work the first time. I suggest turning on all the logging in CUPS, I think some wrong file permissions foiled me for a while. Once I got it working, there were some annoying things about it (don't recall exactly), but it did work. I was using it over a network to the Jet Direct port (TCP 9100). Hope this helps!
