Subject: Help! Deskjet w/o ghostscript?

I have a Deskjet 812C hooked up to a FreeBSD machine running
netatalk (this printer has printed from Samba just fine in
the past). I don't want to use ghostscript to print to it,
because the quality of images, well, sucks. :-(
I have installed the USB/AT driver on my iBook, and figured out
to put "printer\:Deskwriter" in the papd.conf file. At this
point, the problem is that attempts to print cough up a
dialog box that says "An error has occurred, ID = -50".
That's it. No actual helpful data or anything. :-(
Nothing helpful shows up in syslog, and if I send a file with
pap, it works. So what does the Deskjet driver want that
papd doesn't have?
