Start "kups", Choose "Printer", "Add". Choose "AppSocket" (or "Socket")
as backend and on the next screen click on "Scan". You printer will
appear in the list field. Now you click on it and then on "Next". As
driver you can choose either The "HP 4050" drivers offered (they print
in PCL mode) or you click on "Have driver" to load the PPD file which
came with the printer. Then you print in PostScript mode with all
options which the printer also has in Windows, and 1200 dpi.
