One quick check if if the print server supports IPP or LPR
protocols. Most recent models should support IPP. The "driver" disk
is probably a Windows setup program, and possible Windows 98
drivers. You can usually set up the print server using a web
interface. If it used IPP, chances are that CUPS will detect it for
you if it is set to detect network printers.
