It's a dumb "host-based" printer, which can only print through a 
manufacturer-specific (and often proprietary) interface.

The "drivers and software" link from the above URL says it has a Linux 
driver.  However, unless that driver supports something such as PCL, you 
aren't going to be able to print from many programs.

You may be able to get away with having filePro generate a PDF output, and 
hope the driver supports PDF printing.
