Ubuntu (Gibbon) seemed to work OK tonight, letting me set up a PostScript printer (which was on a JetDirect interface) with the included administration widget. One big problem, though:
Apps state the page size is Letter, the printer setup states it's Letter, the TEST PAGE prints in Letter, but the system paper size defaults to A4. Ergo, the output to the printer is almost always in A4. And unless you're onto the shenanigans, you'll be driven insane.
dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1 to sort it out, although that shouldn't ever have to be done. It should be in the administration dialog! Things worked fine after that.
