Thank-you. My apologies for not responding sooner. I got buried in company paperwork
yesterday. Then Xerox (a) accepted my ticket, and (b) gave it priority 1. So I'm
putting this on hold for a few days hoping they fix their rpm file. The Xerox engineer
did not seem too confident, saying:
- This printer uses GDI-based drivers, so technically speaking, the
- standard print process with Linux environments wouldn’t work since
- they only use PostScript-based drivers or emulators. I’m sure
- engineering solved that problem somehow, but I don’t see how since
- the files the driver package includes are just ppds and a few filters.
But he's trying.
To answer your question, I did an "rpm -qp -l" on Xerox's 64-bit Linux .rpm
file for this printer. I saw no PCL file.
rpm -qlp Xerox-WorkCentre-6015B_6015N_6015NI-1.0-28.i586.rpm | grep
6015NI.ppd
/usr/share/cups/model/Xerox/Xerox-WorkCentre-6015NI.ppd.gz

"fxlinuxprint.ppd"[2], what's in there for the WorkCentre-6015NI?
Did you consider using this one[3]?
