Hi Roger,
I too have Fedora 18 64 bit. Have always had trouble with Xerox laser printer in Fedora Linux, all versions, for years. It has never been auto detected.
You may need the ppd file, I can send my fxlinuxprint.ppd if you wish or google for it. Copy it to /usr/share/cups/model/ My Xerox only seems to work if I jump thru the below hoops.
Hi Roger,
ok, please send your fxlinuxprint.ppd file to me.
Here ya go Bill Both fxlinuxprint and the PCL-Docuprint ppd files I think the PCL-Docuprint creates the usb:// uri mentioned earlier. Both are plain text files - you can open them in gedit or vim There should be a PCL file for your printer in the Xerox system somewhere
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.
Bill.

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