Helge,

    Many of the Canon iR330 and iR400 were sold with a PCL ONLY print board. 
In fact I have one in one of my sales office. If you are getting pages and 
pages of PS code printing out then you too have a PCL only printer.

   The good news is I have set these up in CUPS as an HP 4 and it prints 
fine. You may loose some of the Advanced functions but most of the basic 
functions work. I hope that this helps.
