Printing from a Linux Workstation

print driver for Linux or a CUPS

Xerox recommends that you install one of the full-featured custom print drivers for Linux.
To locate drivers for your printer, go to www.xerox.com/drivers.
If you use CUPS, ensure that CUPS is installed and running on your workstation. The
instructions for installing and building CUPS are contained in the CUPS Software
Administrators Manual, written and copyrightedby Easy Software Products. For complete
information on CUPS printing capabilities, refer to the CUPS Software Users Manual
available from www.cups.org/documentation.php.

®
PPD for CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System)

2. Copy the PPD file into the CUPS ppd/Xerox folder on your workstation. If you are
unsure of the location of the folder, use the Find command to locate the PPD files.
3. Follow the instructions that are included with the PPD file.
Adding the Printer

2. Open a Web browser and type http://localhost:631/admin, then click Enteror Return.
