Thanks Willis.  With the help of others, the printer is now working. 
While I'm a member of driverguide.com, I haven't used them in a while 
and had frankly forgotten about them as a potential source.

For the benefit of the archives, extracting the PPD file for that 
printer from the Windows driver set was sufficient to get full 
functionality out of it on Ubuntu with CUPS.
