You need to use the vendor supplied PPD (the printer speaks, among others,
natively PostScript language level 3), modify (via the *JobPatchFile
keyword) the printer's default color model, AND you need to generate
a set of PJL statements specific to this printer (which ones you
really need depends on the basic setup done by the mainenance guy).

If you don't need "secure printing", I could send you a filter which
generates the required PJL statements and the modified PPD.

Let me know.
