MDV had a ppd for it.  Not sure if it's the right one...

But I can't print a test page.  Should I be on port 9100 ?

That's what it defaulted to.

Cheers Don

I ran the Mandriva wizard to connect to a printer but it doesn't seem to
find my Xerox Document Centre 400 on 192.168.2.201

Does the printer have PostScript?
What's the best practice way to set the printer up so it shows up when I
click print in Open office applications.

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.
