 I've got a HP Photosmart B110a wireless printer with JetDirect, to which
 Haiku can successfully transfer data using the JetDirect transport addon.
 However, it supports the elderly PCL3C language and nothing newer so
 Gutenprint is needed to make it print.

 When set up with a standard PCL5 or 6 driver it "prints" (either stalling
 or gibberish, as expected). When set up with as any printer in Gutenprint,
 you instantly get "printer not responding" on attempting a job. It works
 on other architechtures as a Deskjet 1220C

 This is being returned from libprint (GraphicsDriver.cpp) but I'm not
 skilled enough to figure out why this is the case. The printer also
 allegedly supports IPP but this appears not to be working.
