I added a Xerox WorkCentre 7245 printer using system-config-printer. A
little research revealed that you need to select the 7228 from the list
in that case, which is a sister product (e.g. the printed Xerox manual
has both numbers on the front page).
The printer sort of worked, but it would print only the first page of
everything, where I would expect it to print all pages. This was the
case no matter which program I printed from (Firefox, OpenOffice, ...)
As the Xerox is a PostScript printer, I installed another (HP)
PostScript printer for comparison. It worked as expected. As installed,
the /etc/cups/printers.conf has for the Xerox printer:
Filter application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
Filter application/vnd.cups-postscript 100 foomatic-rip
Filter application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip
Filter application/vnd.apple-pdf 25 foomatic-rip
while the HP printer has:
Filter application/vnd.cups-raw 0 -
Filter application/vnd.cups-command 0 commandtops
Filter application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 -
(Special thanks to etckeeper for keeping record of these details!)
As a test, I printed to a PostScript file, then sent it to the printer
with "lpr -oraw file.ps". That worked.
So now I have modified /etc/cups/printers.conf, using the HP printer's
Filter lines also for the Xerox printer. This solves my problem, however
the bug should be fixed for the benefit of the next guy with a Xerox
WorkCentre 7228/7245.
