There’s nothing wrong with my 7 year old printer (which I now have to

Which printer is it?
i-don't-know, make me walk to the printer closet to look will ya!
Panasonic KX-MB2030 (Multi-Function Laser)
Ah, a GDI printer. GDI is a microsoft system and the printer expects
most of the processing to be done from within Windows, so in this case,
it's really not the fault of CUPS but that of the printer really.
Eventually I want to try installing the Panasonic Windows print utility in a
Windows VM. Would seem to be a complete waste, but *shrug* if it works, so
be it...
Anyone ever tried that (printing from a Windows VM on a Linux box)?
If you have windows already, or with a new installation (either real or
virtual) just share the printer and let Windows do the processing.
