Printing from a Linux Workstation
To print from a Linux workstation, install either a Xerox
®
print driver for Linux or a CUPS (Common UNIX
Printing System) print driver. You do not need both drivers.
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/office/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
copyrighted by Easy Software Products. For complete information on CUPS printing capabilities, refer
to the CUPS Software Users Manual available from
www.cups.org/documentation.php .
Installing the PPD File on the Workstation
1. If available, download the Xerox ® PPD for CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) from the Drivers
and Downloads page on the Xerox Support website.
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.
