Here is how I got my Xerox WiFi Lasre Printer to work with OpenBSD: 1) Install the CUPS packager: # pkg_add cups 2) Add the following line to your /etc/rc.conf.local file: pkg_scripts=cupsd. Reboot the computer to make sure CUPS is running. 3) From the CD that came with my Phaser 6022, I removed the file xerox-phaser-6022_1.0-22_all.deb. 4) This is an archive file. It contains your *.ppd. Do $ ar x xerox-phaser-6022_1.0-22_all.deb (See man (1) ar) 5) After extraction you will see data.tar.gz. That tarball contains the Xerox_Phaser_6022.ppd. 6) Start a web browser and point it to "http://localhost:631"; 7) Selct add a printer and login. I had to use my user account to login. Logging in as root would not work. 8) Since there is no entry for Xerox, load the Xerox_Phaser_6022.ppd. 9) In the management settings for your newly installed printer on CUPS, make sure you set this printer as the server default. NOTE: There may be an entry for your Epson printer in which case you can skip the tarball extraction. I tested the printing and it works with the commannd line /usr/local/bin/lpr and it printed just fine. I also printed from LibreOffic and it worked fine too. You have to use the absolute path name /usr/local/bin/lpr, /usr/local/bin/lprm, /usr/local/bin/lpq and /usr/local/bin/lp to print with CUPS. -- Kind regards, Jonathan
