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
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

®
PPD for CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System)
