The upstream bug report for the CUPS web interface is now considered a
feature request for CUPS 1.4 by Mike Sweet:
http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2436
As system-config-printer does it correctly now, is a patch on the CUPS
web interface needed?
** Summary changed:
- printer auto-detection does
Interactive mode fixed upstream. Now in case of an unknown printer the
Generic text-only printer gets selected.
Choice of generic printers by page description language was already
implemented in system-config-printer. So this Xerox printer connected
via USB or parallel should auto-select the

Also system-config-printer does not make a good choice.
/usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp has the following output on the Xerox
printer:

We get that right for automatic queues, but yes, interactive mode gets
that a bit wrong still.

It automatically selects Xerox WorkCentre 450cp.
We have been instructing people to use a PPD extracted from that xerox
driver, but with the 450cp PPD, the printer spews out hundreds/thousands
of junk pages per print, which is a very unhelpful default behaviour.

So CUPS recognizes the model automatically.
What does the CUPS web interface do when you go through its steps? Which
PPD file does it suggest?
Here are driver downloads on Xerox' web site, but this driver does not
work on Gutsy (installation fails):
I have contacted Xerox to inform them about the problems with their
printer drivers and PPD files. I hope they will cooperate and improve
their Linux support and their cooperation with Linux distributions.

That's always good
The second point has to be addressed by the printer setup tools. If they
do not find a match they should not simply point onto the first entry of
the manufacturer's model list. They should give a clear warning that now
driver for the printer was found. They should also investigate the
command set
Checked Xerox web site for redistributable drivers. They have Linux
drivers, but these are not redistributable. They also do not install on
Ubuntu distributions (bug in Xerox driver package). See

James Troup, can you supply the full product name of your Xerox printer?
Can you also try to set it up with the web interface of CUPS
(http://localhost:631/)? Which model does the web interface select
automatically? I need this info to file an upstream bug/feature request
against the CUPS web
We are now in gutsy so the field is wide open! Till, please have a look
at creating a new package for this so we can save some trees :)

Till, have you contacted Xerox and asked about a proper license for
these drivers?
If that is not an option, have you considered creating a new package for

Is introducing a new package into Feisty restricted still possible?

Feisty is now frozen, but adding a new package is fairly low-risk. It
should definitely be possible to get it into multiverse, and potentially
into restricted. It
This is not a bug of the SNMP autodetection, the SNMP scanner of CUPS
for sure reports back the correct model name of your printer. You see it
on the first page of the gnome-cups-manager in the Detected Printers
box. The problem is that if there is neither a PPD nor an entry in the
