Cups-compatible PPD for IBM 6400 printers

We've inherited some IBM Infoprint 6400 printers for use with our internal warehouse management software. Now I'm looking for a driver, or a compatibility list for said printers. I found that IBM does provide drivers for it (link), but due to our policies I can't download it. (who provides drivers for Unices as an MS exe anyways??)

Anyone got one of these and can tell me how to have it work with CUPS?

xprehashprinterlist

xprehashprinterlist(1x) 												   xprehashprinterlist(1x)

NAME

       xprehashprinterlist - Recomputes the list of available printers.

SYNOPSIS

       xprehashprinterlist [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       xprehashprinterlist  causes  all  Xprint servers to recompute (update) their lists of available printers, and update the attributes for the
       printers. The intended usage of this tool is that a system administrator can run it after changing the printer topology.

OPTIONS

       -v     generate verbose output

       -h | -?
	      print usage

ENVIRONMENT

       XPSERVERLIST
	      ${XPSERVERLIST} must be set, identifying the available Xprint servers.  See Xprint(7) for more details.

EXAMPLES

       Update the list of available printers

       % xprehashprinterlist -v

       would print:

       Rehashing printer list on server 'meridian:34'

NOTES

       xprehashprinterlist rehashes all printer lists of all print servers.  Alternatively xset rehashprinterlist may be used to rehash  only  the
       list of printers in one print server.
