That one doesn't look good - take a look at
<http://www.c8600.co.uk/index.asp?menumode=1&content=c8600spec>

"Printer languages  	Windows Host Based Printing System"

and no mention of linux in the OS section.  Looks like a 'winprinter'
so to speak.

It's not mentioned on the linuxprinting.org site at all - I'd suggest
you start an entry there with whatever info the manufacturer gives you
(and I bet it's - 'sorry not supported')
