I just acquired a Xerox B215 printer and connected it to OI. It's a laser multi-function printer with a control panel for local configuration. It has three PDL methods: PCL Postscript XPS .
The CUPS web page displayed a list of Xerox printer models. None of them matched my printer. I chose the first one. The printer does work with CUPS, but I'm left with questions. I do have a PPD file, Xerox_B215_Series.ppd, that I downloaded from the Xerox site. The file does say that it's for linux only, but I assume it will work with OI. The CUPS web page will accept a PPD file, but I'd like to know what it will do with this file. Will CUPS copy this file from anywhere, even from a temporary location? Have you done this? Did the PPD file improve the printing? Are you actually using this printer model? What PDL method does CUPS use for this printer? -- -Gary Mills- -refurb- -Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada- _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
