I was trying to use a MF-4150, which uses its own custom USB driver. This worked like a charm. Leopard server was able to see the printer without the hint, but the correct driver never showed up - it always defaulted to "generic postscript." I could never get the driver selected when using LPR or IPP either, which was sort of odd.

Without the Canon driver, I couldn't duplex. So now I can use my el-cheapo laser printer with the Canon USB driver. Nice!
