What made you think this model would be supported?  It's not on
our "supported printers" list:

   https://gimp-print.sourceforge.io/p_Supported_Printers.php

The 2835R is a 'GDI' type of printer that uses a=20
proprietary/non-standard communication protocol.  However it apparently=20
has an _optional_ PCL mode.  I do not know if there is a way to tell if=20
your printer has that option or not.

All I can suggest is that you try the "Laserjet 5Si" driver.  If it=20
works, great.  If not, complain to Muratec, but given that this model=20
was discontinued over two decades ago they will probably ignore you.
