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

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2915057

On http://www.cups.org/ under "Printer drivers" there is only one PPD
for a Xerox printer.

So without cooperation from Xerox we will not be able to ship Xerox PPDs
or drivers.

The only thing we could do for now is checking through all printer setup
tools (CUPS web interface, gnome-cups-manager, KDE Printing Manager,
...) and add the feature of warning the user if no suitable PPD/driver
could be found.


** Changed in: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu)
