Printer Driver for Muratec MFX-2850

I recently switched offices and have a new printer that I am trying to print to from my MacBook Pro. I have tried some of the various Gimp drivers but have not been having any luck.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can use? The printer is a Muratec MFX-2850 that I am trying to print to wirelessly over our network.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.5), Muratec MFX-2850

Do you know if the PCL 5/6 option is installed?
If not, you won't be able to print to it (except if you want to set up a PC as postscript print server for it).
Let us know, so we can give you more info.

I have not been able to confirm whether the PCL 5/6 option is installed on the machine. Is this something that I can find on the machine itself? Otherwise, would there be any way to use my Parallels Windows installation as the print server? I can print from Parallels currently, but would rather not have to open the individual documents within Parallels to print each time.

Thanks again for your help.

Sorry - I don't use Windows.
