For Fuji Xerox Printers:- Fuji Xerox does not usually release PPD's for Linux but you can use a Windows PPD OK. The recommended PPD is Windows 2000/XP which can be downloaded from fujixerox.co.nz FX PPD's can be incorporated into CUPS so that they show up in the PPD menus. Procedure: Compress the PPD with GNU zip and put it into a suitable directory. $ gzip PPD $ cp -p PPD.gz /usr/share/cups/model Restart CUPS and it should show up. My favourite print manager is the kde one usually packaged with the distro. It is usually easier to set up than the CUPS browser based one. [EMAIL PROTECTED] kcontrol Peripherals > Printers Rob
