My apologies for not responding sooner. I got buried in company paperwork yesterday. Then Xerox (a) accepted my ticket, and (b) gave it priority 1. So I'm putting this on hold for a few days hoping they fix their rpm file. The Xerox engineer did not seem too confident, saying: - This printer uses GDI-based drivers, so technically speaking, the - standard print process with Linux environments wouldn’t work since - they only use PostScript-based drivers or emulators. I’m sure - engineering solved that problem somehow, but I don’t see how since - the files the driver package includes are just ppds and a few filters. But he's trying. To answer your question, I did an "rpm -qp -l" on Xerox's 64-bit Linux .rpm file for this printer. I saw no PCL file.
