Hi Andrew
It will be really useful if you spend time learning some basic
linux-relevant search methods, both for general information and for
example when researching any new hardware (from motherboards to
external devices) before purchasing.
Openprinting lists this printer, with some relevant drivers, including
gutenprint.

For figuring out any printing issues you might have with gutenprint
(should you choose to use it), please write to the gutenprint mailing
list.
