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 field in the device ID, so that they can determine whether
the printer understands standard languages like Postscript or PCL to
assign a generic driver. This is a bug in most printer setup tools.

For the first point the licenses of the Xerox drivers need to be
investigated.
