alright.

i've tried various patches and cups drivers. the only combination that
slightly works is a kernel with both patchsets in combination with the splix2
driver. alls other combinations of patches and drivers fail without a page
being printed and causing the printer to signal an error.

with the two patchsets and the splix2 driver i'm able to print about 5% of the
testpage. the paper is almost completely empty. only a a little bit of the
testpage is being printed onto the top of the page. after ejecting the page
the printer signals an error.

with the usb1-stack the whole testpage get's printed and the printer stays
operational afterwards. also the gdi driver works just like the splix2 driver
without any problems. using the usb2-stack the gdi driver causes the printer
to signal an error without anything being printed.
