There may be three other people in the world with this printer however ...
:)

Mixup in file naming/location.  gs is told to use sipixa6.upp which isn't
found anywhere.

After downloading googling and sipixa6.upp and putting it in one of the
search paths for gs --help, I am able to print properly.  I.e. putting it
in /usr/share/ghostscript/8.57/lib/

Being naive to the insides of cups, I'm not sure what should be edited.

Thank you in advance for a patch or advice on how to properly fix this,
