My office HQ use ricoh aficio 2035e for the printer(it's a multifunction copier).
How to make this printer work for my linux?
I use slackware 11 kernel 2.6.18.
I use cups 1.1.23.
Based from openprinting.org , it seems to be supported using pxlmono driver which -if i'm not wrong- is included in ghostscript.
here's the gs -h output in my slackware.(shortened for readability)
$gs -h
