Several manufactures provide 'ppd', or 'Postscript Printer Description' files for free.
A ppd file provides a generic description of how a printer works. While the functionality is rather limited, it will allow you to get your work done
1) Download the ppd file for your printer. Either search the company's web site, OR:
go to this web site:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/driver_list.cgi
select your printer model (I will use epl2120 for my example), and scroll down to the 'PPD-O-Matic' section.
Select the printer again from the pull down menu, and press 'Generate PPD file'
2) Save the file somewhere on your computer - /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj
is the default location for English ppd files, but you can just put them in your home directory and select it later.
3) Open up the 'Print Center', which is located in:
/Applications/Utilities/
4) Select 'Add Printer...' from the 'Printers' menu.
5) Either select 'Apple Talk' or 'LPR Printers using IP'.
6) From the 'Printer Model:' pop-up menu, select 'Other...'.
7) Navigate to the ppd file you downloaded.
Va la!
