You'll probably get more people complaining than proposing to finish the code.

kdeprint only lists drivers that are installed/available on your system, which
is quite logical. The "Other" button allows you to select a PPD file in another
location than the standard one (/usr/share/cups/model). Your printer is supported
by Foomatic, at least I found an available driver on my Mandrake=8.0 system.
So you should download/install cupsomatic and the driver file from
http://www.linuxprinting.org/, however it seems the site is temporarily down.

If you need more informations, just mail me. But maybe it is more appropriate
to use private mails.

Bye.
Michael.
