Has anyone got this model to work with RISC OS, either via USB or
as a network printer using RPFS?
It prints automagically from my Android devices very nicely, but
doesn't seem to like the PostScript drivers, though as a plus it
doesn't use up all the paper and cause a scrabble for the mains
plug.
It does seem to be accepting (some) data, but doesn't quite get
round to using it.
I suspect it might need a subtly different USB driver, or a magic
incantation in the RPFS string. It does declare that it has LPD on!
My main usage will/can be PDF files, and I can manage via shared
drives to print via Android, but any alternative input would be
welcome!

Does it support IPP printing? I had a quick look at the specs, but
they are not explicit. However it does have WiFi, so it may do.
If it does, !IPPTrnspt may help.

PDumperURF there seems to support Apple Raster (URF) which is the default format for AirPrint. I think this route is the best option.

Thank you, Theo! I'll report back!

I've printed out the 3-+ page Printer Settings, and as well as the LPD I mentioned, AirPrint, Mopria and IPP are all listed as being "on".
TCP/IP, mDNS, Web Server, IPv6, LLMNR, SNMP, Raw Port, NetBIOS/IP, WebServices and SMTPCli are also "on".
I've downloaded Dave's programs, but fall (fail) at the first step.
FindIPP keeps its window up for the requisite 10 seconds, then closes down with no result.
GetIPP, the alternative printer-info-gatherer, fails with the error "Bad URL".
Hoping to perhaps find the information another way, searching the Settings printout visually for a URL with a port number of :631 tacked onto it as
Dave suggests in the link you quoted where he discusses GetIPP yields no results.
Unfortunately these Settings pages only exist as printouts, so I can't
easily share them as I might the output from a RISC OS application!
For the record I'm using a RPi4 running RISC OS natively on a Fortress m/c.
I may bother Dave directly, but thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
