Two places to check for a driver is

(a) http://linuxprinting.org.
(b) the manufacturer for a PPD file
(c) check the driver DVD for a PPD file

I always check linuxprinting.org first so I don't waste my time and also
let the manufacturer know why I didn't buy their product if it is not
supported. Doesn't help in your case but tell them anyway.
Good luck.
