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/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 .

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.
Adding the Printer

2. Open a Web browser and type
